Chasing Ghosts: An Irregular Warfare Podcast Ep 077 "The CG Mailbag: Question Time and the Backbenchers Lament 26.1"
It's been quite some time since I have responded to "mail" so I have curated five questions to address:.
- What are your thoughts on the Maduro and VZ kerfuffle?
- How do you fix the defense acquisition system and fraud?
- What should the US Navy do in the 21st century?
- How did GEN Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck do it (preview)?
- Are American SOF capable of 21st century mission success?
