Task and Purpose, Paul Szoldra, The National Interest - 7 minutes ago
*Task and Purpose, Paul Szoldra* *Combat Experience, * Don't think.

He couldn't handle the detonation of a truth bomb of this size and, in the best tradition of egotistical manbabies, he stormed off the set. See for yourself. And now he's gone. Accor...
