He might not be a born officer, but by God he was a born soldier. He was the son of a whore, bereft of God, but a God-damned soldier.

Bernard Cornwell, Sharpe's Rifles

What better way to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo than to watch a couple of episodes of Sharpe television series with Sean Bean in the titular title role of the gritty swashbucking Richard Sharpe of the 95th Rifles with your downstairs neighbour, a retired French army general and Napoleonic warfare history buff.

He had been personally chosen by leader Seán Mac Diarmada to serve as his aide-de-camp. He was an Irish teacher, Irish language scholar, army officer, barrister and Sinn Féin and Fine Gael politician. Following the Rising, he was interned in Frongoch in Wales with…

“An impressive photograph of Lieutenant N. Naillie-Stewart of the Seaforth Highlanders who has been held for a month in the Tower of London as a "secret prisoner" on charges of violating the Official Secrets Act of Great Britain. The prisoner (with arrow pointing towards him) is seen here taking his daily exercise walk around the grim old walls of the Tower of London escorted by an officer of the Coldstream Guards.”

- from the Kingston Whig-Standard. March 2, 1933. Page 12.

The road to the next duty is the only straight one.

- George MacDonald

General Sir Mark Carleton-Smith was the youngest Head of the British Army in over a century, the longest serving Chief of the General Staff since the Second World War and the most senior Special Forces officer in Defence.

The son of a major-general, Carleton-Smith went to Eton and later Durham University to read history. He joined the Army 40 years ago in 1982 on a university scholarship and graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst as an Infantry officer in the Irish Guards.

He passed the SAS Selection Course in 1990 and served around the world with the SAS for most of the following 15 years in the Gulf, South America, Africa and the Balkans. Carleton-Smith was Commanding Officer of 22 SAS Regiment after 9/11 and commanded all Special Forces operations in Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan.

He subsequently assumed command of 16 Air Assault Brigade, the Army’s high readiness parachute intervention force which culminated in his command of all British Forces in Afghanistan during one of the war’s most intense periods.

Promoted to Major General as Director of Special Forces, he commanded all the United Kingdom’s Special Forces for 3 years which included implementing the strategy to defeat ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

Prior to taking up the post of Chief of the General Staff, the professional Head of the British Army in 2018, he was Defence’s Director of Military Strategy and Operations which included directing the UK response to Russia’s invasion of Crimea and military support to Ukraine.

General Sir Mark Carleton-Smith has also been Honorary Colonel of the Irish Guards and of Oxford University OTC and also been a member of the England Rugby mentoring team preparing the squad for the 2023 World Cup and Colonel Commandant of the SAS.

i really want a story in which tim and lois get up to snoopery, sneakery, spying, and shenanigans together. i don't have a plot for this yet but i want it so bad. lois would be such an enabler to tim and i want to see it!!!! they're both nosy little bastards with an inability to stay in their own lanes (ha) or to sit idly by when they perceive they can do something about a problem!! i need them to get up to something together...

#my vision is that tim interns with lois for a semester or something and there's so much office gossip bc lois NEVER takes interns #they meet tim and he seems like a polite nice little guy. unassuming. what did lois make an exception for him for???#and then toyman sends a small army of toy soldiers with real guns into a shopping mall and lois goes CMON TIM and tim.#instead of going YOU WANT TO RUN INTO THE MIDDLE OF IT???#goes Let's take my car it'll get us there faster!!!#and cat grant and jimmy olsen just stare at each other over the coffeemaker for a minute and then (in very different tones of voice)#just say in unison ''oh boy. there's two of them...''#rimi talks #tim #lois #ft. background kon and clark going hmm. two of them. yup there they go. should we--? yeah probably okay let's go

Lots to do in a short amount of time

Now that an immediate ceasefire has been called, we have a limited amount of time to get things done before Israel plans to bomb Rafah again so we have to hustle, people.

We have established that two things are most critical at this point to help Palestine start gaining stability.

Make the temporary ceasefire into a permanent one.

Cut off Israel’s supply of ammunition and money from U.S.

I know that it’s a big ask, but over a million Palestinians are counting on us to help them make it happen and we promised them that we would stand by them until the end so let’s make good on that promise.

The United Nations Security Council has finally approved a ceasefire agreement so now we have to push forward for a permanent one. You don’t have to tell me that it doesn’t matter to Israel as they will just ignore it, I know that they don’t care. I just don’t want for the U.N to have an excuse to be passive again and decide that it’s time to stop using the carrot and finally use the stick to spank Israel because bad children need punishment.

With the relationship between the U.S and Israel being on the rocks, you could say that it’s a waiting game for Sugardaddy to cut off their spoiled brat’s allowance, but there’s the matter if it will happen before the 9th of April? We need to use every legal means possible to hasten the process of making it illegal for the U.S to give anymore military aid in this conflict.

Every day we are getting closer and closer to put an end to this madness and the Palestinians are closer than ever to gain their freedom. So let’s work harder than ever before.

Something of the respect amounting to devotion that had been given under the Empire to higher public officials and Army officers was transferred to the deans and professors of the faculties.
