It is well known that drones are helping Iran wage asymmetric warfare against a superior opponent — yet less visibly, but just as importantly, satellites are playing the same role.

Nine years ago, I took off my uniform for the last time. A decade in the Army as an infantry officer, three combat deployments, countless more to various training centers scattered around the country, and a lifetime’s worth of memories. I used a military recruiting firm and luckily ended up with an HVAC sales company that specifically targeted veterans and transitioning military personnel.

The Iliad and Odyssey have shaped Western ideas of heroism for nearly three millennia. Yet despite centuries of debate over whether they reflect historical reality or poetic fantasy, the Homeric world remains an internally consistent universe worth studying on its own terms. This isn’t about separating fact from fiction: it’s about understanding the warrior ethos that dominated the ancient Greek and Roman imagination, and how battles were truly fought in the world of Achilles, Hector, and Odysseus.
