But since this take has no data at all, they try to support the argument in other ways, which are poor evidence (more to the point, they're not actually evidence, but additional unsupported assertions) and deserve to be called so. 6/19

Now, is it true that there are some academic historians who look down on military history out of an outdated sense of what the field is about? Sure. Are they the major obstacle keeping military history in American universities from reaching its potential? No. 17/19

What *is* holding military history back is the general reduction in funding for history departments (& humanities generally) more broadly in American universities. Trying to encourage military history while history departments are shrinking everywhere is a lost project. 18/19

So in short: Put up (actual data) or shut up, but don't act like every innovation in mil-hist since 1950 is heresy. And if you still think there is a military history problem, fund history departments. Start by giving me a job! Will history for food/tenure! end/19
