Proposed strategic realignment

Episode 100!

Well, when I combine the 20 episodes of WarNotes with the CG podcasts but a chance to pop the bubbly anyway.

Today we discuss the critical lack of critical thinking that has led the US into the unenviable position of being an extraordinarily 20th century fighting force nor fit for purpose for 21st century peer combat.

It will get worse.

I'll offer some more recommendations and a path forward.
