This essay explores the evolution of USAF concerns about collateral damage and examines the causes and effects of this unfortunate by-product of airpower. It concludes that the concerns harbored about causing collateral damage reduce the military effectiveness of airpower. ... The USAF can take actions which will help alleviate some of the causes of collateral damage. Improvements in the areas of planning and technology provide certain relief, but ultimately, political and military leaders must accept that collateral damage is an inevitable part of airpower.

On the Blue Ridge Line is a collection of country-folk-blues lyrics, as well as an exploration of the creative process, in prose. Some of the lyrics are romantic, some focus on nature, and a number touch on social justice issues, including the experience of poverty and homelessness. The exposition regarding creative process is grounded in Eastern philosophy and humanistic psychology. This work is informed by the author's work as a community and school counselor, his background as a poet, essayist, and singer-songwriter, as well as his experience as a civil rights worker and advocate for the poor. Reader comments: "So many people wrestle with writer's block at times, when things are at a kind of an impasse...This book will set them back on course and lead them through the ways to unearth inspiration" (Doni Marz, singer-songwriter, San Francisco, CA)..."As a psychoanalyst, I am impressed with the psychic wisdom in Patrick Frank's new book, "On the Blue Ridge Line". he is able to weave dreamwork, creativity and philosophy into a song, which he includes in the latter portion of the book as lyrics. The author has been through a lot on the Blue Ridge Line (Lou Haygood, New York City)
Like a soldier awake, alert, ready for action as he responds to the STAND TO call knowing every moment is critical and his engagement is a necessity, so every man must know that he too is being counted on to courageously follow God's specifically designed purpose and plan for his life. Men are hardwired for action, and we learn best by doing. STAND TO invites men to accept personal challenges and live intentional, creed-driven lives in the presence of God (Coram-Deo), under His authority, and for His glory Too often, silence, apathy, hesitation, or withdrawal from worthy engagements cause a man's true identity and strength to be suppressed. STAND TO flips this narrative STAND TO shares from God's Word our striking resemblance to our Warrior King who has also experienced intense suffering from missional living. This King offers backbone-stiffening courage in the face of fear, strength without compromise, and the model for sacrificial living despite the cost. Knowing our King goes before us in the battles and challenges enables us to confront and overcome them as well. Each chapter provides men specific 'courage challenges' to DO. This is critical Soldiers in battle are trained and equipped to courageously engage in the good conflict and move towards the action. Such present and engaged men are needed in their relationships and their significant calling from God. In the words of Thomas Jefferson, "Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act Action will delineate and define you " STAND TO IS GOING TO LIGHT YOUR HAIR ON FIRE This incredibly interesting and readable book is destined to reach a whole new generation of men who want their lives to count and make a difference. It's that good -PATRICK MORLEY, PhD, Founder, Man in the Mirror For years, Shawn has been training boys to be men, and this book proves he's the kind of guide we need right now. -JOHN STONESTREET, President of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview and host of Breakpoint Men who would "stand up for Christ" and "stand firm in Christ" would benefit from being saturated in Dr. Brower's volume STAND TO - a weighty yet engaging exposition of Christ-exhalting Biblical masculinity. Enjoy and profit -HARRY L. REEDER III, Sr. Pastor, Briarwood Presbyterian Church It's time men of God need to stand up not down. Shawn Brower points to God's standard of masculinity and invites men to embrace who God designed us to be. -RICK BURGESS, Co Host of the Rick and Bubba Show and Director of TheManChurch.com This book helps men, young and old, to courageously pursue, accept, and act on God's masculine design, to image Jesus...A must read for every man. -MITCH TEMPLE, Executive Director / CoFounder - The Fatherhood Commission Stand To was a hallmark of hope and heaven-sent pushing and probing. I am drawing upon its resources multiple times in a week and sometimes in a day. -JOSEPH V. NOVENSON, Pastor of Sr. Adults, Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church
