Strange Brew by John Deering for November 13, 2024

Should have been a “custard” stand instead.

And he has about as much qualifying experience as Pete Hegseth.

His “advice” is WAY …… “overpriced! ! !”

O-o

Intelligence is Down! I repeat we have NO Intelligence.

I used to have a lunch in Fresno at a shop called Custer’s Last Sandwich Stand.

Custer graduated third from the bottom in his class at West Point

Overpriced, as that’s about $2 in today’s money.

In his book, The Art of War, Sun Tzu advises heads of states to pick generals and let the generals do their jobs. If a general doesn’t do his job, do not overrule him, but replace him.

Lincoln had to replace numerous generals until he found a pair that could do the job.

On the other hand, some political leaders think that they are smarter than the generals (even if they can’t tell the difference between agent orange and napalm). These are the dangerous kind.

Hitler, for example, led the Wehrmacht all the way from Stalingrad to Berlin.

Reminds me of the ice cream shop in the Black Hills of SD. “Custards Last Stand”

Custer’s very first stand was much earlier than that.

No worse a use of a nickel than Lucy’s psychiatric help.

If I remember right Custer and his men had Springfiled single shot Carbines but the Natives had Repeating rifles, ammo quantity over firepower.

Reminds me of Custer’s famous last words: "Look at all them fn indians.
