It's not uncomfortable. RSR was a powerful novel about a NATO-WP conflict. But what would an Army colonel know?
@BeltwayGreg@BeschlossDC -
@KurtSchlichter That book scared the crap out of me because I could see that whole thing unfolding in real life. -
@RickMoore@KurtSchlichter Tom Clancy was a better prophet than Nostradamus. I have Debt of Honor in mind. -
@jmtewats Yeah. I still wish someone would fly a 747 into the Capitol.

@BeschlossDC unbelievable. This is the same guy the GOP idolizes... -
Oh my gosh! No one has ever cited fiction to speculate on the future. Sheesh.
@joninhell@BeschlossDC -
@KurtSchlichter@joninhell@BeschlossDC And intellectuals call the "best" fiction...literature. There's more truth in fiction than in fact. -
@drkenyon@KurtSchlichter@BeschlossDC by this logic, we should make foreign policy decisions based on lord of the Rings. Brilliant... -
No, that's either dishonest or stupid. To RWR, RSR was a well-researched example of speculative fiction.

@BeschlossDC@2xAught7 As well he should have been, it's essentially a textbook written as fiction. -
@210Darryl Watched ‘Sum of All Fears’ yesterday for the first time. Only Clancy movie I haven’t seen. That’s all I got. -
@2xAught7 Terrible movie. LOL -
@210Darryl I didn’t have anything else to do -
@2xAught7 That's about the only reason to watch it.
