I enjoyed this podcast episode exceedingly and was gratified by the comments between the participants regarding my essay in The Atlantic.
Absolutely sir! Happy you enjoyed it.
Article and conversation war quite amateur-ish. This level of conversation needs significant guidance from a senior level of SWOs to discuss SAG(s) in the context of Operational Art. Especially within todays war fighting plans.
