Some More on Moleskine
Sunday, February 24th, 2013The has been a lot of discussion about whether Italian firm Moleskine’s position on embossing firearms manufacturer’s logos on their notebooks after we reported that they are right against it. Turns out, according to their brand guidelines, they not only don’t work with firearms companies but also, “Pornographers, Extreme Political Organizations, Religious Organizations, or the Defense Industry.”
On one level, I understand that they want to steer clear of anything controversial, but the Defense Industry? I guess on some level it does go to strengthen my argument that the firearms and defense industries are one in the same and all of these half-baked anti-2A laws only serve to weaken our military in the long run.
Still, I hope they don’t realize Arc’teryx has a LEAF division. Those notebooks are a pretty cool giveaway.
Thanks to BE Meyers for the additional info on Molseskine.
WTF Moleskine?
Friday, February 22nd, 2013A friend of ours in the firearms industry received this email from notebook manufacturer Moleskine after inquiring about getting some branded notebooks for giveaways.
Thank you for your request but currently Moleskine Brand Guidelines prevent us from working with any weapon companies. Good luck and have a great day.
Sincerely,

The Distinguished Warfare Medal – The Times They Are a Changin’
Wednesday, February 13th, 2013Earlier today, the Department of Defense announced a new medal. It recognizes “extraordinary achievement, not involving acts of valor in combat, directly impacting combat operations of other military operations.” Think drones. The DWM ranks below the Distinguished Flying Cross, but above the Bronze Star and the award’s Blue, Red and White ribbon will suspend a laurel wreath encircling a domed and grid-lined globe. There is no geographic limitation on the medal, and the domain for the award includes air, land, maritime, space and cyberspace. The DWM cannot be given for action prior to Sept. 22, 2001.
