[edit] dab
Should someone write up, and differentiate from, cowboy/gunfighter John Peters Ringo? FZ 21:29, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
And Ringo Starr, which takes the Ringo page for redirect. I guess Ringo should be a disambiguation page, and all ringos should have an italic with if you are looking for x_ringo_x, the X_proffesion, you should see interlink. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 10:37, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] views
What "outspoken views" is he known for?
- Militarism, nationalism, the typical stuff you see from most military SF authors.
-
- His works are very pro-US, and exceedingly optomistic as regards to what current technology can do in face of alien threats.... (like the Posleen books, and Von Neumann's War... his rather less than realistic CAS (combat armor suits) are also a bit grating)
-
- In the Posleen books, he seems to indicate that there's a northern limit to Posleen advance, but says that the US is the only country able to hold its own, but within the books, he mentions that Canada should be able to hold its own as an aside (referencing a nice vacation in Montreal)... so it's like all northern and island based countries are just so much chopped liver to be ignored... (Canada, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland, etc...) This "snowline" would also seem to indicate that most of Russia, Korea, and northern China should be safe... but his history of war does not show this...
