  1. What Became of The Army Strategy?
    Aug 23, 2026 · original
    “Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.” Most anyone who has served in combat arms as a tactical level leader in the Army is familiar with this expression. It is a pithy way of communicating that even in combat, rushing can lead to failure. Succumbing to the impulse to rush is a product of … Continue reading "What Became of The Army Strategy?"
  2. The U.S. Army’s Dangerous Obsession with WWII Europe
    Jun 7, 2026 · original
    You know the old adage, the Army is always preparing to fight the last war? I’d offer a twist on that: the Army is always preparing to fight the war it really wants. And the war it wants is World War II. Specifically, the European Theater in World War II. Hyper-specifically, 1944 WWII Europe. Minus … Continue reading "The U.S. Army’s Dangerous Obsession with WWII Europe"
  3. What a 98-Year Old Children’s Book Teaches Us About AI
    May 29, 2026 · original
    Regular readers of this blog will know that I’m a big fan of using fiction as a lens through which to view the world – some might say, to my detriment. But we do not listen to those naysayers (since they spark no joy) and we move on. I recently picked up a copy of … Continue reading "What a 98-Year Old Children’s Book Teaches Us About AI"
  4. Service does not Require Silence
    Apr 23, 2026 · original
    Army leadership is based on principled discipline. Officers and NCOs each contribute to the maintenance and to the efficacy of the organization in different ways (NCOs own the discipline part, officers the principle). The contribution of each is made according to well-understood and internalized principles. For the most part, these principles do not need to … Continue reading "Service does not Require Silence"
  5. Citizen-Soldiers – not “Warriors”
    Apr 17, 2026 · original
    In a recent prepared statement by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in which he cut the War Department’s ties and affiliation with his alma mater, Harvard University, he made several references that should make all American citizens—especially those in uniform—cringe with concern. His assertion that for decades the U.S. military sent its “best and … Continue reading "Citizen-Soldiers – not “Warriors”"
  6. Don’t bother improving your chess
    Nov 29, 2025 · original
    Civil discourse requires a shared allegiance to civil society “If every time you play chess, your opponent punches you in the face, getting better at chess is not the solution.” – Andrew Thomas An important life lesson came out of my early career as a civil litigator. I practiced law in Canada for eleven years; … Continue reading "Don’t bother improving your chess"
  7. Uncomfortable with the First Thanksgiving Narrative? Good News, it’s Actually a Civil War Holiday
    Nov 27, 2025 · original
    Take heart, all you who grow unsettled at the time of year where the narrative of friendly Pilgrims and American Indians is spread around to make us feel good about a brief moment in American history before everyone started killing each other. Thanksgiving as a national holiday is actually about another time when everyone was … Continue reading "Uncomfortable with the First Thanksgiving Narrative? Good News, it’s Actually a Civil War Holiday"
  8. “After me, the flood:” recovering the Army’s accountability
    Nov 12, 2025 · original
    Much has been written elsewhere regarding the unforgivable sin of failing to plan for known contingencies. Whatever one thinks of the current changes undergoing our Army here in the United States, the least controversial thing to be said about them is that they certainly represent a change from what has come before. And regardless of one what thinks, or refuses to … Continue reading "“After me, the flood:” recovering the Army’s accountability"
  9. The General Who Defied a President
    Sep 9, 2025 · original
    Perhaps no period characterized chaos about the future of the Republic than the years 1866-1868. And perhaps no one individual did so much to save it in those years as the man who had labored so hard to preserve it from 1861-1865: Ulysses S. Grant. One would think that having put down a rebellion, the … Continue reading "The General Who Defied a President"
  10. A Badly Belated June Reading List
    Sep 5, 2025 · original
    Weird, just the other day it was July and I was thinking that my book review post wouldn’t be colossally late again. Yet, here we are, unaccountably in September and I’m still writing about June. Time is a construct and I am against it. Still, we press on. Maybe, unlike the US strike on Iran … Continue reading "A Badly Belated June Reading List"
