Mordax et al

Oh I am well aware. Someone in the military once decided it would be a great show of power to blow up the moon, and top brass seriously considered it.

I suspect that a lot of the stuff that comes out about weird military ideas is stuff that like, some dude wrote into the army and suggested, so they had to file paperwork on it. But definitely…not all.

I wish there was a name for that aesthetic, it’s like the Kissinger Aesthetic, of brylcreemed men in square-framed glasses and sober suits speaking with severe, jowly generals over cocktails in a conservative-mod lounge, all of them out of their goddamn minds with fear and entertaining every idea from every fucking lunatic who walked into the room because they’re just so horrified at the idea that their kids might be smoking pot with commies.
