    I am currently developing a theory as to how to (re)apply this to the military as well.

    I'm not sure if I will ever put pen to paper on this topic, but I think another military revolution is at hand, and we in the US are largely missing it, entirely.

    A thought piece on how cheaply you could run a military that still had the capability to win wars by using professionalism and decentralized design and decision-making.

    I think our adversaries have captured how to do this, and we could learn a lot from them if we only looked at it dispassionately.
