Terry Applegate @CharliesWhiskey - On 1 December 1777, Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, a Prussian military officer, arrives in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with his Italian greyhound, Azor, to offer his services to the Continental Congress.
Upon landing, Steuben and his party were nearly arrested because they had mistakenly outfitted themselves in red uniforms, leading locals to believe they were British officers.
Steuben would go on to Valley Forge later that winter to drill Washington’s ragged troops. His training manual and discipline transformed the Continental Army into a professional fighting force capable of standing up to the British regulars. In May of 1778 he was appointed787 inspector general of the Continental Army with the rank of major general.

Terry Sater @sater_terry - Chuck Todd, the ultimate Beltway sofa warrior, wets his jammies over a meme, while real men in uniform are blowing up cartel super-ships full of American killing drugs, in the middle of the night. This is the same Chuck who spent twenty years pretending “both-sides” coverage was journalism, the same Chuck who never heard a round snap overhead, never read a ROE card under red light on a rolling deck, and sure as hell never had to decide in three seconds whether the boat racing at his ship is a fisherman or a narco-terrorist with an RPG. He doesn’t know the UCMJ from the UCC, can’t spell “positively identified,” and thinks “rules of engagement” are whatever keeps him from looking bad on Sunday morning television. Yet here he is, smugly lecturing a combat-veteran Secretary of Defense who just sank a vessel crewed by the same scum poisoning American kids, because Pete dared to post a joke that hurt Chuck’s delicate sensibilities.
Spare us the sanctimonious outrage, you ratings-obsessed, never-deployed, credibility-free hack: the adults are busy saving lives while you audition for the resistance on Twitter.
