Just an old Mitch Hedberg joke.

Cool. I thought you sounded a little more intelligent than some of these other people who only think they know what they're talking about. I've got a BS in IR. What specialty/concentration are you doing?

Studying IR huh? Undergrad or post-grad?

You're welcome. Thank you for your appreciation.

I've really enjoyed reading your analysis and posts the past few days. They've been extremely interesting and thought provoking, as well as the sources you've provided have been superb. Thanks for the awesome contributions to this forum.

Surenas, you're alright by me. I like the perspective you give and the reality checks you occasionally lay on the forum and myself.

Take care, and I'll see you around.

Thanks for the reply. Where are you studying

Surenas: I'm curious as you refer to yourself as an analyst (post 4135 in Jabari thread). Is this your occupation?

Thanks, Dunemetal

Good post in the thread about the "Myth of American military superiority". For once a reasoned argument, where one usually only finds cheap one-liners. Never conveived of military power in terms of Weber's definition. But it is plausible and also highlights that the actual power potential of military resources depends on their application within a specific context; (or the threat of deployment).
