I mean, the dude wrote The Hunt for Red October. He was clearly part of the military-industrial complex. I mean clearly, he should have a job in defense lobbying industry... .

It would have to be one of those Soprano's No Show Jobs since he died in 2013.

I am seeing Patrick being defended, but not Tom.

Is there a scenario where Tom Clancy had post partum depression and murdered his children I haven't seen yet. Google wasn't any help.

I defend him Without Remorse, and it is a Debt of Honor to do so.

Tom Clancy is an example of somebody who's done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.

Bestselling military thriller author Tom Clancy died on October 1, 2013, at age 66 at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore after a brief illness. Famous for creating Jack Ryan and pioneering the techno-thriller genre, his name continues to live on through ongoing novels written by ghostwriters and major video game franchises.

He's been gone for a while now. I'm guessing some podcast got their dander up.

I don't even understand the thread topic or what Tom Clancy did to piss somebody off in the first place, so how am I supposed to know who Patrick is and how Patrick fits into the story.

It's as if some people just caught a news story and assume that everyone else was watching the same channel or reading the same article they just were lol.
