** Retired Marine Corps colonel John C. Studt also once wrote about him in the introduction to Lind's own book: "The author of this book has never served a day of active military duty, and he has never been shot at, although there are no doubt some senior officers who would like to remedy the latter deficiency."

* WriteWhatYouKnow: William Lind ("Thomas Hobbes") is a former Senate staffer and military theorist in real life, and most famous as one of the originators of the "Fourth Generation Warfare" theory that advocated intermingling politics and military affairs, and especially this sort of irregular warfare plays a prominent part in ''Victoria''--though Lind also exaggerates and dramatizes things to push his own agenda, and adds science fiction elements to his near-future setting. However, it should be noted in regards of his military theories that he has never served in the armed forces in any capacity, his military theories were all disproven by the Gulf War, and most people in military circles consider him a hack, if they even know about him.
