SNAFU! Blog Store...
Well the SNAFU! Blog store is up on TeeSpring (you can check it out here). I can tell you right off it's obviously a European enterprise cause no matter what I do I can't get around that blasted VAT tax!
There are few offerings on the thing and yeah. The prices aren't good but you'll be supporting the blog.
I'll be looking for other offerings at better prices but this is what I cobbled together at this time.
As far as tee-shirts and sweatshirts? I got a guy that has a son in the industry. Hopefully we'll be able to work up a few great designs at decent prices so we can get the word out.
Check it out. Understand that its small and hopefully will grow. Oh and remember this is the terrible baby steps before we can get it to run!

Just plain wow.
I had a sudden realization that the US Army has slowly but surely arrived at their concept that they rolled out so many decades ago.
By chance or by plan they've developed (are developing) the "Thumper" Concept Vehicle (minus the 140mm Cannon).

Open Comment Post. 28 May 2020 ... plus an update and reminder...
Hey all...
Update. Still working on the merchandise thing. Be patient. Not as shake and bake as I thought it would be.
Reminder. Friday we're posting the Question and Answer with the CEO of EOS USA! I'm really looking forward to that one.

This day in 1943, while arming B-17 bombers of the US 92nd Bombardment Group at RAF Alconbury, UK, a 500-pound bomb exploded, killing 19 men, destroying 4 B-17s, and damaging 11 others.
Note. This is another side of the "peer vs peer" war that I don't think people are including in their math. Mistakes happen and people will die. The relentless pace of operations (especially at the start of conflict or during major phases of battle) will cause exhaustion and unfortunately short cuts to come into play. We all assume that casualties will be tolerated but what about wartime casualties versus casualties caused by Mr Murphy? The incident below was bad but there were many more that were much worse. How would the US military and in particular, the general public react to losses like this?
