undiluted, rocker, on the rocks, off your rocker

Beautiful swan rocker, 1890s. Ideal for a nap.

The British import, about an introverted teen who unleashes his inner rocker upon discovering his new neighbor is a fallen guitar god, certainly contained the elements for a much livelier jam session.

"Want undiluted sovereignty? Go to North Korea."

在軍事博客「戰爭困境」(War on the Rocks)上發表的《中國打不了現代戰爭的十個理由》(Ten Reasons Why China Will Have Trouble Fighting a Modern War)中，卜思高指出，中國軍隊的指揮系統過於陳舊，從事通訊和運輸等非軍事任務的軍事人員太多，而受過聯合指揮作戰訓練的軍官太少。

卜思高寫道，過去兩年，中國海軍和空軍人員進行了聯合指揮軍演，但這些軍演的規模和參與人數似乎比較有限。他表示，2014年末，解放軍公開承認高層軍官缺乏聯合指揮的經驗，並宣布了一項選拔、培訓和任用聯合行動指揮官的新計劃。
