1. MCM4WD_230113_04.JPG: Forward Deployed "The game is changing -- and so are the rules." -- General Charles C. Krulak, 31st Commandment of the Marine Corps, 25 April 1997 After the war in Vietnam, America focused increasingly on domestic issues. In contrast, the country's Cold War adversary, the Soviet Union, sought to expand its reach. As the threat of nuclear war loomed, a head-to-head match between the two powers seemed inevitable. The United States braced for a Soviet opening move, most likely in Europe, but few would foresee the endgame. The Marine Corps saw little combat from 1975 to 1991, but it was engaged worldwide. As Marines trained, delivered aid, and countered Soviet proxies, they honed the warfighting skills they would soon put to use in the deserts of the Middle East. In 1991, the Soviet empire collapsed, leaving the US as the lone superpower. The danger of nuclear war faded, but other less well defined challenges took its place. Where once there was a single foe, now many rushed to fill the power vacuum. Instead of chess, a new game of action and reaction had begun in every clime and place.

2023 photos: Equipment this year: My old staples the Fuji XS-1 and Nikon D7000. In April, I bought a Google Pixel 7 Pro since DigitalReview.Com said it was the top camera smartphone and it wasn't an iPhone (so it's not evil). In June, I took the plunge and bought a mirrorless Nikon Z-5 camera. The only trip so far this year: (May) a visit to see Dad and Dixie in Asheville, NC and visit with some friends in Brevard.
