Fast-attack motorcycle units
Hah! Y’all are thinking I am losing my marbles ‘cuz I already wrote how the Rooshians were using these against the Ukrainians a while back. Well… there is some justification for that thought – just ask my wife – but this case is a little different. Quite a few derided the two-wheeler units as easy […]

Cranking out columns for TAH isn’t onerous duty – the columns are relatively short, it’s a (mostly) friendly audience, the chain of command is forgiving – unless you do something really, really stupid, it’s a pretty soft gig.
