We're the Military and Airpower Guys of Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online + a stray we found wandering around looking lost.

So, yesterday I joined two of my good Rotary buddies, Beau and Jim, to set up a WWI-themed table at the Fort Leavenworth Militaria show yesterday. The young gent on the left is Beau. Ladies and gents - meet a guy with more stuff than I have. Beau's coolest contribution to our table was his collection... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/i_havent_been_a.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/i_havent_been_a.html Sun, 03 Feb 2008 19:13:18 -0600 Thank you John, as ever, for your input.

And I know a third guy in the area who is on a par with Beau and I. Between the three of us, we could outfit a battalion, easily. Though I'm pretty sure the S4 would commit suicide trying to keep track of the ammo requirements. We'd have to try to organize the companies by caliber... Rather than Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta and Echo companys we'd have 30.06, 7.62 Nato, 7.62x54, and .303 Companys... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/i_havent_been_a.html#comment-69330 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/i_havent_been_a.html#comment-69330 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 08:47:28 -0600 The young gent on the left is Beau.

I mean, AWC is running their annual SDME next month...I'm gonna be stuck working for SOUTHCOM, but maybe Fidel & Raul will kick it in the exercise to make my life interesting. There are some good pubs/grills in town, if you need motivation...gotta love a place named Alibis (run by retired O6s, no less) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/i_havent_been_a.html#comment-69316 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/i_havent_been_a.html#comment-69316 Sun, 03 Feb 2008 21:43:44 -0600 knew if I waited, I would see some killer (pun intended!) firearms related blogging this weekend. Way to go, John!
