Posted on 15 October 2015 by The Tactical Hermit

It has been a very bad month for advocates of the “indirect” approach to U.S. national security policy.

Corbett vs. The Caliphate: What a Long Dead Naval Strategist Tells us about Combatting the Islamic State

Posted on 3 October 2015 by The Tactical Hermit
