    MvC’s presentation would improve if, every time he claimed the "remarkable trinity" was the government, army, and people, Mr. T came out, body slammed him, and yelled "FACT CHECK, FOOL!!!"

    You edited out my "wonderful introduction"!

    BTW, I thought the Mike Vlahos and Jeremy Black presentations were particularly good.

    Hi JF,
    .
    I think MvC has his story and he is sticking to it.

    Hi Big Steve,

    No editing on my part, I just pasted in the embed code. I have not watched Black as of yet. Vlahos, whose book I want to read, came off as uber-academic theory in his phrasing and as a bit of an oddball. Seems pretty bright though.

    JF, sometimes I get this vibe  that you don’t much like Mr. Creveld.
