On the whole, it was mostly classroom instruction. And also combat, of close combat—how to kill a person quickly, by sneaking behind. So it was physical, it was technical, and it was linguistic. And it was often amusing.

I put a ton of super chill documentaries on hold at the Library in preparation for getting my wisdom teeth out this morning. I have started on the first one, the Ritchie Boys, about the WWII spies and intelligence experts that were the basis for Mission: Impossible. These 10,000 soldiers were German Jews who fled Europe and went to work for the US as its experts in German culture, mindset and warfare.
I am so excited but the medicine is kicking in and I’m worried I’ll fall asleep before I find out if we win the war or not.
