  1. https://mattstoller.substack.com/p/how-bill-clinton-and-american-financiers?s=w This article could go in several threads right now, but scroll to the P.S. line of that post for what's relevant here. Long story short, "Jacque [Gansler] not only hollowed out the Defense Industry, he did the same to the ability of DoD to manage the industry."
  2. In the longer read category, I highly recommend "Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy" by Matt Stoller. It's a long book, but the guy basically went through over a century's worth of primary source material from the late 1800s onward to reassemble the story of American politics and economics. I would argue that story has been deliberately obscured and distorted for political and capital gain before Stoller put it back together, but that's just my opinion.
  3. Thank you everyone for your words of advice and support. I’ll take this to my commander and get it resolved before starting training in earnest.
  4. Thread Resurrection: BLUF I'm starting UPT in a few weeks as a prior rated with several years in. SO's alcoholism is starting to take its toll, and I'm considering serving papers. Obviously it can/will be very difficult to have significant life distractions while chasing the dream. As I see it, I have a few options in no particular order: 1. Let the marriage, such that it is, ride another year till I'm complete and reap whatever will come of the added stress and distraction (plus pay out more of my retirement if I get there). 2. Fess up to my commander, end up on admin hold till this is done (it will get real messy, could take a long time) 3. Use the weeks I have left to work the touchy-feely shit to get the marriage back on track and worry about having to serve papers at some point before the graduation if we don't get there. What do I do to guarantee UPT success?
