- The modern era - Shock and Awe
Shock and Awe has entered the modern lexicon as a description of the effectiveness and efficiency of modern air power. Yet the employment of air assets took a century to evolve. In the earliest days over the Western Front during the Great War, rickety biplanes often struggled to find a role both in reconnaissance and as fighters. As ground attack aircraft, the technology available was in its infancy and bombs where little more than light weight flechette darts. As the conflict progressed, it was the Germans who developed and pushed ahead with the concept of the strategic bomber and conducted raids over London and other cities. First the Zeppelin airship and then with their Gotha and Staaken bombers.
It was during the post war period that air strategists including Trenchard, Mitchell and Douchet evolved the concept of aerial bombing and air supremacy. The myth that the bomber will always get through was born. There was the belief in ‘never again’, that the bomber would allow nations to avoid the slaughter of trench warfare and break the morale of the enemy at home.
It was only later, with the use of the atomic bomb over Japan and precision weapons in later conflicts that some of the hopes of those earlier thinkers and pioneers have been shown to be partially true. As counterinsurgency from Vietnam to Afghanistan have shown, air power alone is still not enough.

Ep7: Tap Battling & Shivs with Ella Nilsson Lasater - Part 2
"You're only as good as your weakest lane." Join us for the second half of our conversation with Ella Nilsson Lasater, aka Alpha Dick.
In this episode, we feature more of the conversation with Ella. We ask about her earliest Skee-Ball moment, talk trash about our former teammates Darby and Joe Labahn, tell stories about rolling in Austin Skeeball League, and then shit gets real when Ella schools us on the difference between a shiv and a shank.
