t_boneСовершенно случайно нашел. Еще один текст в четырех снах про городской бой. Переводить не буду, он и так удобно короткий.
This recollection of combat nightmares is dedicated to those who “stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.”
A little more than a century ago, my great-great-grandfather Backsight Forethought returned to Ireland from service in the Boer War as a lieutenant in the Royal Irish Rifles. BF was, according to family oral history, something of a weird duck given to long walks and even longer conversations with himself. Most disturbing to his fellow Irishmen of the day was his tendency to refer to dreams as a guiding source in his life after his return from South Africa. Ultimately, the confining nature of Irish society, climate, and country prompted BF to emigrate from Ireland to the United States, where his ways blended in and he enjoyed greater room to roam as he murmured to himself about somebody named “Oom.” BF passed away in 1945 with his family and heirs around him. One was my great-grandfather, BF II, and another was his son, BF III, my grandfather. True to our Irish roots, we had kept alive the patrilineal heritage, naming each firstborn son after the man who brought the family to America.

Date: 2016-03-01 08:32 pm (UTC)Нам какое-то время регулярно привозили переведенные CALLовские unclassified материалы. Понятно, что переведено было местами с ашыпками, но в целом всё понятно и довольно ценно - опыт боевых подразделений всё-таки...
Хотя и нам есть чем с ними поделиться - против них-то арта практически никогда не работала, а вот против нас...

вообще говоря, я очень удивлен почти полным отсутствием (в публичной части интернетов) переводной литературы на тему американских FM. Хотя казалось бы, что мешает.
