A passionate, critically incisive biography of one of the most influential rappers of all time, Tupac Shakur, and how he came to dominate hip-hop in the 1990s

In an article published in Foreign Affairs, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates reflects on "whether formations and units organized, trained, and equipped to destroy enemies can be adapted well enough and fast enough to dissuade or co-opt them-or, more significantly, to build the capacity of local security forces to do the dissuading and destroying." This question is central to the on-going debate over whether the Army has the proper structure and training to perform full spectrum operations. This monograph reports that 3-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) effectively operated as a "full spectrum" force during Operation ARROWHEAD RIPPER in the city of Baqubah, Iraq, from June to September 2007. The Brigade Commander organized the SBCT to conduct simultaneous kinetic and nonkinetic operations, task-organizing his brigade to leverage the Iraqi military, local leaders, and Iraqi systems already in place to accomplish his mission of defeating al-Qaeda and stabilizing the city of Baqubah. Ultimately, adaptive leadership, at every level, enabled 3-2 SBCT to operate in a full spectrum campaign.

During the time of the pandemic, the virus started to peak, and accelerate during the time on our calendar in 2020 when we observed Holy Week, Good Friday, the death of Christ on The Cross, Jesus burial, and Resurrection Sunday, where Christ rose from the grave, was this timing accidental or by coincidence? Not at all, God's timing is perfect, impeccable, and vital, showing and highlighting (during the peak of the pandemic on our calendar) that The Ultimately Cure to the most destructive virus of sin can Only be found in his Son Jesus. On Good Friday, where Jesus, The Great Physician, became the patient and took the virus of sin on the hospital bed of The Cross for his select elect people, that they would be made whole or clean. Jesus absorbed completely God's wrath on his chosen people, and shedding His blood to take away their stain of sin, (a stain man can never remove by his own merit), Isaiah 1:18 proclaims "Come now, let us reason together, say the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool." Only Jesus can make one whole or clean through His substitutionary sacrifice, on The cross, on Good Friday. What a highlight, what an illumination in God's perfect timing! Only Jesus can take the lepers spots of sin and make one clean or whole. "Have you been vaccinated?" Only Jesus can make you whole or clean.
