Jon & I just finished our second tactical shooting class at Asymmetric Solutions. We are beyond exhausted, but it was amazing training. Learning so much for both real life situations & my fictional ones. Hands on research is always different than I think it will be & it changes what I write in ways I never imagine until I'm there, doing it. No amount of books, or articles can teach me what I learn from using a weapon for real, or as real as I can get as a civilian. Now, for showers & early bed. My hat's off to all our men and women in the Armed Forces who do this every day & in heat that makes Missouri seem cool & pleasant. You guys are bad ass, I just write this stuff.

Did the "OH BTW THNX ARMY" bit feel...tacked on to anyone else? Like I see the relationship with guns/firearms but I idk, it just reads like she shoehorned it in for what I can only assume is for patriot points with fans or to make it seem like there was some POINT to this post besides I DO RESEARCH (said research would be more impressive if it actually showed in her work, I might add)

If she did research, she'd be listening to actual soldiers about their experiences and reading books on what war does to people and such. But no, she thinks a form of LARPing is almost the same thing as war.

Yes to the 'tacked on' bit.

My concern though, is that she will use the research, but it'll end up a huge data dump of mostly unnecessary preparation details before Anita and Co. head into some dangerous spot (wherein the main conflict will not be solved with guns at all).
