The intense war drama ‘12 Strong: The Declassified True Story Of The Horse Soldiers’ opened in theaters this week 5 years ago. 🐴🪖🔥

“I’d like to tell you it gets easier but.. You know, every now and then, you meet a guy who doesn’t feel anything. He goes out there, he kills people. Falls asleep before the head hits the pillow. You know, I used to think that that’d be better, right? That maybe, I was just too weak. Then I realized, nah... That’s the thing that reminds us that we’re humans.”

It’s a bitter irony that 12 Strong was released only three years before Kabul crumbled faster than Kevin Spacey’s career.

I do want to say, just in general, that I genuinely think the fandom sorely underestimates Essek in combat because of the specific types of combat we saw him in.

The Nein's caster contingent was so broken by the end that Matt had to build combats specifically designed to hinder a wide range of high level casters, which meant a lot of counterspells and anti-magic. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the reasons Aeor was the setting for the last arc. Essek also has a lot of AOE concentration spells, and that's just not a good move with that many people on the playing fields. On a meta level, DM's curse made him less effectual when using ranged attack spells, but his support casting is clutch. The dunamancy wizard schools are generally very strong subclass options, regardless of stats, and he's got features of both, for no goddamn reason, just because Matt could. He is still a glass cannon but between Mage Armor, Shield, a likely Mote of Possibility, and Chronal Shift he's probably not going down immediately.

In conclusion:
