I finally got around to reading Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun; I'm very interested in what Dolan has to say about him. Thanks for the topic list. Edit: Wolfe is undeniably a conservative, but an odd one. Almost iconoclastic and he somehow never lost his empathy which really helps with the pathos in his stories as you're invited to inhabit the head of someone unlike you from a completely alien world and time.

From what I recall the majority of the episode is devoted to Jack Vance. I had to stop listening when they moved from New Sun to the Soldier series because I haven't read those yet. It seems like Wolfe got pretty bad PTSD from his time in the Korean War, and he often said he would not have survived after the war if not for his wife. I kind of infer what his experience must have been like from some of the descriptions in Citadel of the Autarch and other books where there is a military presence that however small - even if it's just four or five soldiers - is nevertheless sufficient to terrorize the local civilian population

To be fair crusader knights on foot isn't that inaccurate (during the first crusade) as they had lost most of their horses after the march through central Anatolia...which was the Turks main horse pastures so I never really got how they hosed that up so bad.

Even his Catholicism was divergent from the American mainstream. Less Benedictine, more Jesuit.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:Presumably the Turks could just move their horses around. i'm not certain on the actual events but a defending army retreating over a wide open area could continue to use or burn food and field if they retreated in an orderly fashion, depriving the invading army of literally everything necessary to continue on, especially in that era of spoils warfare

I don’t know a ton about that period of history but I’d imagine the crusader army is also the equivalent of a bunch of PMC #boybosses from all over the world getting together. If you’re used to operating leading relatively small groups knights/soldiers and local levies that didn’t require a ton of logistical/organizational know how and I doubt it had much coherence compared to any professional army. I assume later on organizions like the Templars or Hospitaliers or whatever provided that which is why later attempts were more successful. Even modern soldiers/mercenary types have some common ground because it’s probably not super different between what you learn in the Russian vs US vs Fijian vs Kenyan army so long as you were in a country that has some degree of serious military investment. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to get a bunch of random war junkie types with no shared training to behave as a disciplined unit.

Living off the land has pretty much been the norm of warfare until like, the 1800's, so pretty much any time an army moves around or even just exists as a mobilized entity it is slowly dying of sickness, deprivation, low level warfare between them and the peasants they're looting, and just dudes going "wow being a soldier sucks" and loving off

Yeah I'm not surprised soldiers were dying. Central Anatolia isn't crop country even today. Sparsely populated steppes. But it is extremely suitable for the survival of livestock and horses so I don't see how they lost most of their cavalry capability marching across it except I guess they were eating them.

The Turks were doing scorched earth in the path of the two crusading armies even before Dorylaeum, iirc. So by the time the crusaders could begin marching towards Antioch it was already summer and they were low on food & water.

War horses require a lot of grain and can't survive on just pasture especially when on the move.

Unless you’re talking about the SSMs some subs can launch (and even then Iron Dome is dubious), there is 0.00% chance Iron Dome could be at all useful against an SLBM. Classic problem of trying to use something small moving relatively slow to hit something small moving extremely quickly (not to mention Penetration Aids)
