Once again I have to remark favorably on the superb no-bullshit commentary and analysis of "war nerd" Gary Brecher.
Most recent essay, which is about the glorious winning of the American west:
Massacres Paid Your Mortgage, Dude (http://www.exile.ru/2005-July-01/war_nerd.html)
Three recent essays about Iraq, all witty and very informative:
Iraq: The Brecher Victory Plan! (http://www.exile.ru/2004-November-13/war_nerd.html)
Iraq: Guerrilla Evolution (http://www.exile.ru/2005-May-20/war_nerd.html)

Thanks for the links, I've been reading some of his articles for the last couple hours. Most of them are really good, hes obviously capable of making it over-technical but he doesn't and its quite readable. I don't like his admiration for the Turks though, but I can see why he feels that way.

Those are indeed cool. Doesn't he write a bit like Linder? Without the anti-ZOGism of course, but the same "hey, wake up to gritty reality and stop being scared of it" attitude. And he's smart, too. I especially enjoyed the first essay there, some good thoughts on guerrilla warfare. Who is he? He has some nationalist sentiment, that much is clear, as he understands the tribe-vs-tribe thing.

Yeah he writes a bit like Linder, in the sense that both writers are pretty good at saying things unrestrained, succinct and witty about objective reality. The difference between the two is the difference between interest and disinterest, I think. Basically Linder is interested in the White race and Brecher isn't.
Brecher might not be on our team, but he tries his damnedest to tell the real story and does not hesitate to put a skewer through political "correctness" when he needs to. That can be valuable in itself.

I dislike the Turks too. Who doesn't? Taking the side of the Turks is almost certain proof that Brecher does not care about anyone's opinion with regards to his articles. He writes favorably about the Turks only because of their objective military performance. If they were idiots he'd laugh at them.
His real test of course will come when it finally comes time to write a real essay on Israel. I suspect he'll write bullshit on that one. But even if he fails this test, I'll still think his essays are valuable.

God damn, nobody likes Turks! That's true. That's a race that should never have been. A race that could disappear tomorrow and nobody would care one bit, not Arabs, not Greeks, noone. Shit, they are so ugly. I saw a Turk boxer on television, and he had tufts of hair all over his back, looked like a disease or something. Fuckin' Mongols, I hear it was those misfits who brought the Turks with them.
Where was I -- oh yes, Brecher. Does he work in the military or something? I want background and fingerprints.
Probably by the time he's forty, or fifty at the most, he'll have realized the importance of keeping the White race alive. I doubt it's possible for him to go through his whole life without doing so. I think he'd have already, if it had been safer for him to do it.
What's this website about, the exile? Looks a bit weird and immature, which makes me think it's leftist extremist. But then he wouldn't be writing there about killing Indians.

And yea I don't blame him for taking the Turks side from a military standpoint.

Brecher doesn't name the jew, but as he clearly states he doesn't because if he did he would be fired. Now some of you may call that cowardice but I don't. People who say "I don't doubt the holocaust story because if I do so I will lose my job" are useful.

Does anyone know what happened to the War Nerd in the last couple of months? I know he's got a couple of new articles up now, but after his "preview" of the war we're about to get into w/Iran, that article was temporarily revoked and for much of two months his archives were inaccesible. I read somewhere that he had been censored by some Russian authorities but I don't know if that's true, and I can't find that source now. Anybody know what the deal was?

In fact, that's how I knew instantly it wasn't the Basques who set those bombs back then, like the Spanish government tried to claim: because the Basque "army," ETA, runs by the same faggy rules as the IRA, and tries to blow stuff up without hurting anybody.
Al Qaeda plays by the good old rules: kill as many as you can, and eventually there'll be nothing left but brave corpses and live cowards.

No military background. In his self-deprecating style, he says he is just a fat nerd, working as a cubicle rat and writing in his spare time. I read all his articles. He is not a WN although he doesn't have a gram of PC in him. His article about Tom Clancy was the funniest thing I read in months.... the fun stuff is by the bottom half of the article:

Thanks GB for pointing us to that column. It's absolutely brilliant!
I just wonder how Tom Clancy got his $200 million. Did 200 million people buy his book? Was he a well-paid "adviser"? Government handouts?
The fact that Tom Clancy is still alive proves that Al Quaida doesn't exist.

J.P. Slovjanski ain't gonna like this!
It's not just a dream. There are guys doing it right now. Kim Jong Il, the Great Leader of North Korea, has talent-spotting teams all over Asia picking out the best girls, kidnapping them and presenting them to him, gift-wrapped and terrified, in Pyongyang.
Supposedly he's a fan of South Korean movies. He uses them to preview the merchandise. Sits there at his private screenings and when he sees something he likes tells his agents, "I wish to interrogate her." That's all it takes. They grab her off the streets of Seoul and when the bag comes off her head she's in Pyongyang, scariest place in the world, with Kim, this jowly little nearsighted freak, feeling her up, panting and whispering, "Capitalist bitch, you will be now be reeducated by me!" You don't have to like his ideology but you have to admire his style.

Okay, read the whole piece. That guy is unsettling. Oh, he's intelligent as hell, doesn't buy any bullshit, and he is a very good writer. What makes him unsettling I think is that he doesn't get laid, so he has this grudge against noone in particular smoldering. He is very honest about it though, so it's not a bad unsettling, which is unusual.
And Tommy has access to these bodies. He can't believe it at first, thinks it's a joke like the frat boys used to play on him. The kind of girls he used to stalk in college -- now they're stalking him. They even pretend to like the war-stuff: "Oh Tommy, it's so fascinating when you talk about the homing capability of the new General Dynamics nuclear-armed ASB sub/surface-to-sub/surface torpedo!"
She expects him to jump her right then, but he keeps talking about the torpedo till the groupie is ready to slit his throat with her martini glass. She knows he's worth something like half a billion so she's ready to let him shove his blimp body into hers -- but she didn't realize there'd be so much talk first. It's worse than the way her stepfather used to talk about Motocross before fucking her. That crap was romantic poetry compared to Clancy and his monologue about Navy hardware.
Great (unsettling) imagination. I can imagine he is also very good at poetry, although he wouldn't publish any, of course. It's just that that part of the brain is more developed in him than in the average guy.
And that makes me think of Alex Linder -- he is probably a hell of a poet too, when he wants to be. I wonder what poetry Alex would write? Something about gun in one hand, shovel in the other because it just wouldn't be decent to leave kike bodies rottening in the streets, it's the greatest biohazard in the world. You know that Chernobyl thing, the reactor problem? Like hell it was; it was a Jew commissar who had committed suicide behind a machine of some kind, or maybe had his throat slit by a fed-up Ukrainian peon, and his body hadn't been found in time. They had to dump him in the Barent Sea along with all the Jews that pissed off Stalin, hiding it all under some radioactive material so people wouldn't wonder about all the dead fish, and the mutated whales with their ghostly sound suddenly turning into an eery whining, going "Reeeeparaaations, reeeparaaations for Moby Dick!" A sound more hypnotic to White Gentiles than Odyssey's harpies.
Why do you think every Navy sub worth its fins goes on trips under the polar cap? For the great scenery? They're dumping billions of dollars through the torpedo tubes, as fast as the Fed can print them. Now you know why the U.S. is chronically short on money. Kike whales, you heard it here first.

War Nerd. Great writer; I've been reading him since before the Iraq war; he's always an interesting read.
His real test of course will come when it finally comes time to write a real essay on Israel. I suspect he'll write bullshit on that one. But even if he fails this test, I'll still think his essays are valuable.He's touched on Israel a few times, very obliquely, once in relation to the Merkava tank; he noted how well designed the tank was, designed to protect the crew from injury, capable of carrying extra soldiers and indicative of the fact that the Israelis don't like taking casualties, whereas the Arabs have no such "weaknesses". In other words, the Israelis are like us in that they are technology rich but manpower poor; "fourth generation warfare" types like the Arabs are the opposite: technology poor, but lots of willing martyrs.
Speaking of fourth generation warfare, check out William Lind's archive:

I think War Nerd misses the REAL idea as to why Tom Clancy sucks so much ass by the metric ton.
TOM CLANCY THINKS ALL THAT MILITARY TECHNOLOGY ACTUALLY WORKS AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO IN THE JANES ADVERTISEMENTS!
In Clancy-world, every US military unit flawlessly executes their orders with WORKING state-of-the-art equipment recently purchased from General Dynamics or some other snake-oil provider. REALITY CHECK TOM! Many US military units are still using signal equipment made by the FRENCH from the 1970s! REALITY CHECK: The Land Warrior system that you thought was so great in Ghost Recon is probably the most retarded idea ever to come out of the Pentagon since the idea of hiring the guy that thought Land Warrior might be a good idea... That's EXACTLY what a guy on point needs, a bunch of HUD useless data clogging up his field of view, and some dumbass commander yelling in his ear:
"HEY JOHNSON!!! I THINK THERE'S A GUY RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!! IS THAT A GUY THERE?! WAIT, MAYBE THE CAMERA LENS IS SMUDGED! IS IT A GUY OR A SMUDGE?!! JOHNSON?! PRIVATE JOHNSON!! "
And that's not all, Land Warrior was supposed to add some 90-lbs to the soldier's load.
http://asoldiersblog.blogspot.com/ooblg7.photo02.jpg
You know what THIS guy needs? 90 MORE POUNDS OF GEAR IN THE 160F HEAT!!!
Good call Clancy. Maybe if he had actually SERVED he would have realized that 90% of high-tech military crap is EXTREMELY faulty, which is why the US takes on countries like Iraq and not China.

Amusing and true. War Nerd has the knack for satire that's on target:
http://www.exile.ru/2005-July-15/nerf_war_and_real_war_ira_vs_al_qaeda.html
Even after they focused on London, it took the IRA 20 years to perfect a way of attacking London without drawing too much bad publicity. Because that's what the IRA's war was about: publicity, "hearts 'n minds," not real military advantage. In their first London campaigns, they used Khadafy's semtex to attack military targets. Some of the results were pretty funny, like when they killed seven cavalry horses bombing a military parade in Hyde Park in 1982.
It was a successful attack, with eight soldiers killed -- but killing those horses drove the British papers into a frenzy. The Limeys are more horse-crazy than a sexually frustrated 14-year-old girl. They were ready to hang anybody with red hair or freckles after the pictures of dying horses hit the front page. You can slaughter all the people you want, but touch a pony and those English ladies will pull your spleen out and squeeze it to pulp right before your eyes.

From the War Nerd's essay on the IRA:
The IRA has been around for a long time, but by the late 1960s, when British troops reoccupied Northern Ireland, the leadership in Dublin had turned into a typical Western Communist party: all talk, no action. The guys on the street up North wanted to go back into action, but the Dublin committees said that wouldn't be cool with Marx. The hotheads up in Belfast told them to stick Das Kapital up Das Arse, dug up the guns they'd buried and started potting Tommies. They called themselves the "Provisional" IRA (PIRA), as opposed to the "Official" wing, and to formalize the split they had a nice little blood feud with the "Officials," with dozens of assassinations on both sides.
After a couple of years, the Officials were dead or intimidated, and the "Provos" ruled the Catholic ghettoes of Belfast and Londonderry.
What's the lesson to be learned? Anyone?

Do they pay him? If so, the exile.ru would probably acquire copyrights in exchange for paying Brecher, or would have some kind of deal preventing republishing without their permission (they want to drive traffic to their website, after all), that's usually how it works, so he would not be free to post it elsewhere.

Superpower Spain vs. the Dutch Rebels (http://www.lewrockwell.com/lind/lind70.html) Cute! ;)
A good essay.
The Dutch rebels adapted in a way the Spanish had never imagined: they based themselves where no Spanish troops could reach them, at sea. On April 1, 1572, the Sea Beggars, as the maritime rebels called themselves, seized the offshore port of Brill. On April 14, the Prince of Orange called on the Dutch people to revolt against "cruel bloodthirsty, foreign oppressors," and they did. The resulting war would last for 80 years and result in Dutch independence and Spanish ruin.
As to the Duke of Alba himself, and his policies in the Netherlands, the best summary was offered by his successor there, Luis de Requesens. As Henry Kamen quotes him,
All I know is that when he came to this post he found the disturbances in them settled and no territory lost, and everything so quiet and secure that he could wield the knife as he wished. And by the time he left all Holland and Zealand was in the power of the enemy, as well as a good port of Guelderland and Brabant, and all the opinion of these provinces, with the finances wholly ruined.
Whether this epitaph will apply equally well to America’s invasion of Iraq, time will tell. But it is all too possible that the Middle East will end up being America’s Netherlands. In any event, I somehow doubt that history will accept the Bush administration’s Newspeak name for the invasion of Iraq, "Operation Iraqi Freedom." Might "Operation Duke of Alba" be a more credible substitute?
Operation Iraqi Freedom. That alone is enough to kill all White House officials on principle. It's such obvious propaganda, don't they know we'll see right through it? Even their followers can see that it's propaganda.
In a book on propaganda, the author says the major mistake of every dictatorship that is safe in the saddle is that its propaganda will become more and more alienated from the reality the people live in.

Never heard of this guy, but it's good stuff.
Time for Plan B. Plan B is classic guerrilla doctrine: "the long war," where you attack the invaders' local allies, not the foreign troops themselves. The idea is, if you wipe out Iraqi collaborators, the US is just a blind giant. He'll stick around for a while, stumble over the countryside wrecking stuff, but sooner or later he'll get sick of stubbing his toes and go home.
At some point we can do this in America, launch campaigns against the Ann Coulters. We don't have to kill them, just flyer them up as Appeaser Annies.

Why Can't I Enjoy the Eastern Front? By Gary Brecher (http://www.exile.ru/2005-May-06/war_nerd.html)
Out of the 29 million Soviet citizens who died, 17 million were civilians. I'm no bleeding heart, but it's no fun imagining 17 million civilians getting shot, starved or frozen to death. Maybe it's because I keep imagining those Russian tennis babes getting killed. What kind of idiot would massacre girls who look like this Maria Sharapova? That's what I call a war crime.
Communists deserve getting shot, starved or frozen to death.
On the other hand, it was the Nazis who would kill you if you were a Jew -- or the ignorant Obergefreiter whose squad just rumbled into your village thought you looked like one.
Why would any VNN reader like this man?
The Germans killed for another Mongol-type reason: land clearance. The Mongols tended to kill people who were using up good grazing land, getting it all cluttered with houses and fences. The Germans thought about Slavs the same way, like gophers or some other varmint that was spoiling the land they planned on turning into thousands of blond, blue-eyed little clock-tower towns.
It takes a great intellect to compare the Germans to Mongols [note sarcasm]. WW1 era propaganda claimed the Germans were another eastern invader – Huns.
Whatever the National Socialist thought about Slavs is nothing compared to how AMERICA feels about ALL white people.
To say that 'all races are the same' is to say that blacks are white and that whites are niggers!
The other reason the Eastern Front depresses me is simpler: the results. All it did was bleed the two coolest armies in Europe, the only really interesting armies on the continent. The USSR won, but left its best people dead on the field. The Germans lost for all time, vanished from history forever. And by massacring all those civilians, that asshole Hitler ruined the whole idea that there was a heroic life in war. I don't even understand what that moron thought he was doing. All these neo-Nazi idiots -- losers who wouldn't even have been let into the Wehrmacht -- talk about "the white race" -- well, wasn't every single person Hitler killed white? Talk about black-on-black crime! The Nazis were the ultimate in white-on-white massacre.
The Germans are very much alive, you stooge
Comparing neo-Nazis to ‘idiot losers’ further proves we are in the presence of a great intellect [note sarcasm]
Neo-Nazis would not have been let into the Wehrmacht? What about all those claims that they had children and geriatrics in their army? Did the Wehrmacht have exceptionally high or sub-par standards? Which is it, kike?
A personal note:
This fat fuck could never pass an army ‘tape test’ (http://www.armystudyguide.com/weight_control/studyguide_test.htm)
The ‘war nerd’ would never make it in any army
Whereas I, a neo-National Socialist, spent eight years in the US Army (honorably discharged in February 2005)
As for Hitler perpetrating a white-on-white-massacre, the real issue is that SovietKikes took over Russia then tried to takeover Germany. So Hitler’s invasion of the East was merely payback.
All it did was give war a bad name. All that was left when the Germans and Russians had bled each other to death was the Anglos, us and the Brits. All was left to believe in after 1945 was business, making money, that whole stupid boring white-bread way of life. My life.
Your life is stupid because you’re either a kike or a kike’s stooge

Now let's assume that 29 million was the real number and War Nerd's idiotic figure of 17 million civilians was true- THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE WE ALWAYS HEARING ABOUT THE "HOLOCAUST"?!! 17 million civilians is almost 3 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF JEWS ALLEGEDLY KILLED!

Germany was not completely destroyed, but it has been reduced to a second-rate power and third rate power militarily. I don't think Brecher is celebrating this fact. On the other hand I understand why you object to his remarks on Hitler (which I snipped), which were gratuitiously and thoughtlessly PC.
I understand the basis of your rant. This particularly piece was a hack job on Brecher's part, but it's already been noted that he works for a publication not only jew-produced but also based in Russia, where most ppl there are not going to have fond memories of WW2. Perhaps if you take him for what he's worth and read his other articles, you'll see he's not that bad.

Actually despite being higher, and despite the fact that the civilian contingent of that was 7 million(1 million higher than the Jews for those keeping score), nobody paid attention to that for decades. That's why few notice when it begins to climb up and up.

You don't get it dude. He calls himself "War Nerd" because he is, well, a nerd. He has never pretended to be an athlete or a warrior. He says he is just a fat guy interested in military matters. He is not a WN, but he never wasted his time serving the Jew like other "honorably discharged" soldiers. The only soldiers that deserve the respect of a WN are those doing time or expelled because they refused to serve ZOG.

But his view of history is a bolshevist one
If you consider your service dishonorable it is only because you are a pessimist:(
The army is where I first learned of Matt Hale and Creativity
ZOG’s army has Equal Opportunity (EO) classes
EO classes are about hating whitey; the intention is to eradicate discrimination
One NCO gave an EO class where he passed out flyers featuring symbols used by racists groups like the National Alliance and WCOTC (which he probably got from the ADL’s site).

The War Nerd does a good job cutting that phony professor down to size. I especially like the story about the Malayan insurgency.
Here (http://iht.com/articles/2005/08/07/opinion/edbremmer.php) is a mainstream article about waning support for a second-term president.
Interesting:
It's said that second-term presidents have 18 months to govern before they're dismissed as lame ducks. Unless the current dynamic changes, George W. Bush may not be so lucky.
The fumbling in Iraq doesn't improve his chances:
But for most Americans, it's what administration officials have said about the war in Iraq that cuts deepest into the president's credibility - and therefore his political capital. Assertions that the Iraqi insurgency was in its "last throes" have been challenged by senior brass. Promises that Iraqi elections marked a turning point in the conflict suggest to many Americans the president may not fully understand what's happening there.
Could this be true?
First, lawmakers in both parties know a majority of Americans want a timetable for scaling back the U.S. presence in Iraq or for withdrawing the troops altogether. As next year's midterm elections draw closer, we can expect calls from both sides of the aisle for a substantial reduction in force levels - well before Iraqi security forces are capable of protecting the fledgling government from insurgents. Bush knows that the forces in Iraq most eager to trigger a civil war are watching. He will resist the pressure to withdraw as long as he can. But as public patience with his Iraq policy wanes, Bush risks losing even more political capital as U.S. casualties mount.
The article says this could spell trouble in negotiations with North Korea and Iran, who see a weakened president. Even an ally like Saudi Arabia is hard to control. Saudi nukes?
Despite recent improvements in U.S.-Saudi relations, the Saudis ignored White House pressure and refused last month to allow International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors to find out if the Saudis are developing a nuclear program. There remain no indications the Saudis are moving toward a nuclear-weapons capability, but the Saudi refusal raises doubts and reminds the administration that, even with strategic allies, its influence is increasingly limited.
There may also be trouble with China. The reevaluatuion of the renminbi is only 2 percent, not nearly enough to do anything significant about the trade deficit. The Senate could get pissed "as soon as new trade-deficit figures make their way up Capitol Hill."
China got what they wanted in the 90s: membership in the WTO and most-favored-nation status. This could delude them into thinking the U.S. is more interested in "business than politics" as the author expresses it: more interested in trade than a protectionist trade war.
But China doesn't seem to recognize that politics now holds greater sway over America's China policy than at any time in the past decade. And because the president's ability to rein in anti-Chinese initiatives and protectionist sentiment in Congress is diminished, continued Chinese growth makes a sharper U.S.-Chinese rivalry - and the political risk that comes with it - much more likely.
It's hard to see how the president can stop the bleeding. Unless Dick Cheney decides to run for president and wins the Republican nomination in 2008 - a highly unlikely prospect - the next presidential election will be the first in 56 years in which neither candidate is a sitting president or vice president. The wide-open field means neither party has a compelling interest in defending the least popular aspects of the president's agenda.
A protectionist trade war with China would be welcome for us. It would make China more aggressive; those damn quai loh trying to keep them down again! Something could come out of that. It might also mean a recession, as so much Western production has been moved to China, and so many investments have been done; less merchandise could be produced, with Western industry perhaps unable to pick up the slack, and stock markets would definitely be shaky.
I sure hope they piss off China so much that the Chinese stop buying American debt, and start selling some of their dollar reserves.

It's great that you added that quote as your signature. I'm not a fan of the Godfather films but that quote illustrates an important fact that seems to fly over the heads of the flag-wavers and neocon supporters like a U2 spyplane.
Simple War math:
Calculate the cost of that Kiowa helicopter that went down last month
Cost of Helicopter + Money lost training, paying, and accomodating the two pilots = Cost of attack
The people who shot it down did so with SMALL arms.
Cost of ammunition in the third world...
The numbers are against the US.

That's a great point, and I wonder if the establishment powers that be would be stupid enough to provoke that, or rather will the Chinese get so incensed that they throw all caution to the wind and start flexing their economic muscles against us.
Either way, I think you're 100% correct, it would present us with a golden opportunity, let's not drop the ball there, and also it won't just be a recession, it could easily plunge America into a serious DEPRESSION. Very fertile ground for WN.

The War Nerd is back with another installment.
Read it here first:
http://www.exile.ru/2005-August-26/american_nationalism.html
I have to give this one a mixed review.
It starts off very strong, discussing the Iranian hostage crisis. Those of you who are Americans old enough to remember will be well reminded of how exasperated and enraged average Americans were at prissy pacifist peanut president Jimmy Carter for letting those ragheads humiliate us. He goes on to explain how this had affected America's psyche in an analysis I find plausible. As he puts it:
And it was America that really suffered, thanks to Carter's insane pacifism. The old tradition of American nationalism, what they're now calling "paleoconservatism," was destroyed forever by that humiliation in the desert. Ever since then, America has been so scared of sounding weak that we keep falling for the chickenhawks who woof the loudest, even when it's obvious they don't have a clue about war or national power.VNNers will not fail to recognize why I don't care for the ending part.

Brecher is not pro-white. He disagreed about disliking messicans in his recent article. Maybe he's a manifestation of that toothless conservatism that lacks the racial/ethnic core and was so easily destroyed by warfare that they didn't even believe in: using minohties and "equality" rhetoric as a battering ram.

I know there's some conspiracy theories out there that say Brecher isn't his real name and that he's not some fat nerd in a dead end job in California, but "someone else with connections" nudge nudge, wink wink, know what I mean. I for one don't believe these theories; these recent essays are good evidence against War Nerd being an insider. Brecher knows war from a war nerd's perspective; he absolutely does not know politics, and that's something I'd expect an insider to get right.
For instance, he refers to Bush Sr. as a "paleo-conservative"!!!! Oh, my God, that's freakin' hilarious! Brecher obviously does not know the history of the term paleo-conservative, which does not mean "any conservative who is not a neo-conservative". Paleo-cons grew up in opposition to neo-cons, but they are small government, traditional religious and social value conservatives, for instance the crowd over at Chronicles magazine. Bush Sr. may not be a neo-con due to his foreign policy preferences, but he is a big government type and fairly liberal on social issues, plus he is still in favor of American empire and interventionism and internationalism and globalism, even though he is not a loony about the subject like the neo-cons are. Bush Sr. is in almost every respect the opposite of a paleo-con.
And what kind of an idiot calls himself an "American Nationalist" and then criticises Pat Buchanan for his stance against illegal immigration on the grounds that "Mexicans are our best fighters in Iraq"??? No American Nationalist would admit that, or if he did, he'd demand that only Americans should fight America's wars, by God! There's more than a bit of wimpy white masochism in Brecher's screed.
No, War Nerd should stick to writing about war. He's out of his depth when it comes to politics or political philosophy. When he's read up on that subject and isn't afraid of taboos about race, then he should write about politics. Til then, stick to war, War Nerd.
