Readiness subcommittee which has about 290 billion of taxpayer money to spend. That keeps me busy. However, theres all the other things i want to read. A lot of history. Right now im working my way through the disagreement between the habsburgs and the Ottoman Empire, 400 years of war, and theres a great book called enemy at the gate which basically details every one of the battles and, basically, is centers around the siege of vienna. Why do i need that . Well, you want to understand turkey, youd better understand the history of the Ottoman Empire and the relationships between that and the western, western europe.
