on september 10, 1914 in order goes out from the prussian war ministry to the german for the same day the germans were told turn away from peers and start retracing looking for fixed positions we can defend. on the same day the order goes out saying, essentially, scavenge everything. they were told to remove the uniforms from there dead dead german infantry were to be buried only in their underwear. take the boots, belts, pants, coats. saddles from the horses, harnesses, take it all. reason they gave the order was they had no production in line. they had no war industry, they were not geared for a long war for they had just lost a short war and they knew it. they had no strategy to win world war ii either. they started that work or what they thought would be a series of smaller wars, but merged into world war ii. they started that war with a mere variation of their old password doctrine with more delusions that now rode alongside hubris and the panzers . more racing through operational holes -- more death , more vanity, more defeat. i won't talk but just a couple of brief words about

that latter piece of advice sure looks prussian in anticipated and unanticipated ways. president trump might be wishing he had taken it as he looks over this document here. this was released by the special counsel's office last night, a document that repeatedly refers to michael flynn's "substantial assistance," assistance that flynn has offered over the course of 19 interviews. the document refers to "several ongoing investigations" and it lays them out. the obvious one, "b," the special counsel's office's investigation. "the defendant has also assisted with the fco investigation concerning links or coordination between the russian government and individuals associated with the trump campaign." but there are apparently two other investigations. michael flynn is substantially assisting with these. "a," redacted criminal investigation, an unspecified criminal investigation. lots of black bars under that one. and even more tantalizingly there's still more, this one, this short indented line indicating a third matter. this one so secret that even the heading is entirely re
