Especially when Instagram is around…

I may have written only two sentences in 2 hours…

✨Couch Academic Work✨

If you have academic work to do but just want to go to bed, let me introduce you to ✨doing academic work in bed✨

As I told Al English: I understand that mefloquine’s listed side effects include psychosis, but that it led to several war crimes and the passive reaction of a whole unit…? Right.

I had to block one of the members of the Airborne who was witness to what happened because he kept on answering every tweet I wrote that mefloquine is behind it

This is the only argument where I find consensus across the literature on this. The Airborne was not fit for purpose.

If you haven’t and are interested, I think Bastard Sons by Bernd Horn would be interesting to you. The history of the CAR is more complex than what happened in Somalia, and the more I do my research the more I think that decision was fine.

I know. I even see it in scholarly work. But it’s the reason why I don’t touch WWII - my grandparents spent their first couple years of life in occupied France and the fact that they have very vivid memories of these times when they were not older than 7 years old just breaks my heart every time.

🧐🤨🤔 Every time I read about it, I am appalled by the lack of accountability and serious concern over indiscipline, and I get enraged about the narrative that the Airborne was the victim of poor leadership and the harsh Somalia environment (I am doing my hardest not to step on a soapbox)
