I just finished reading Paul Wolfowitz' article on ForeignPolicy.com titled, "Think Again: Realism" and concluded that he is completely wrong. His argument continues to argue that realism, as an International Relations theory, is a "misguided doctrine."
Read it here. I'll wait: Paul Wolfowitz -- Think Again: Realism
Ok. Did...

If you don't think that Al Qaida spearheads a growing global insurgency, you have been on Mars for the past 13 years. And if you don't think that President Obama's speech today was a classic lesson in counterinsurgency, then you are not looking at the big picture.
David Galula's 1964...

Reading about the suicides and killings going on within our military ranks is enough to make any military man/woman depressed.
It is heartbreaking to see that 5 soldiers were killed by an NCO who had been in Iraq for almost 3 years of his life. That...

Throughout history, most people have achieved liberation and freedom through violence. The French did so via the French Revolution and ditto for the Cuban revolution, the Romanian Revolution and the American Revolution. Others today are trying the same techniques including the Tamils in Sri Lanka and currently, the Palestinians in...

More Muslim militant attacks in India? Must mean that Kashmir is still an unresolved issue.
As long as Indian troops are patrolling lands where Muslim insurgents exist and elicit government responses that ostracize the Muslim public and moderates, there will continue to be attacks from terrorist/insurgent groups on Indian...

For most of the world's record companies, even though it is Veterans Day, Tuesday, November 11th is just another day. Major labels release albums on Tuesdays, so they'll be busy trying to make sure the big holiday releases that are coming out that day are "moving units", as is parlance....

Scott Kesterson wrote a great blog providing us a snapshot of a few soldiers' and officers' reactions to President-Elect Obama's win on Election Day called "The Other Side of Paradise."
After reading some of the comments, I felt I had to highlight a few things and make a...

As I sit in front of my computer, I am compelled to acknowledge the historic moment that will befall America on Election Day. For the first time in American history, a person that is a minority will be elected by the majority to represent us to the rest of the...

Quoted from the Observer:
"My whole body was numb. I got up and limped towards the Humvee. A colleague was circling with blood dripping from his face. I shouted but he didn't react and I really thought I was a ghost. I thought I was dead.' In...

When applying for a job, the first criteria listed by a potential employer is your education. If you don't meet the minimum standards for the job, don't bother applying. If someone is applying for a marketing position and has a degree in education, that should raise a red flag. If...

Honestly, who is scared of a terrorist?
You have more of a chance dying from a lightning strike than from a terrorist attack.
Terrorist organizations, by their very nature, are militarily weak organizations. The REAL threat has always been other nation-states, as evidenced by the recent war...

You cannot win a "War on Terrorism". Period.
This is the same BS we hear with the "War on Drugs" and the "War on Poverty" and every other "war" we declare on inanimate objects, casual effects and conditions. These are simply sound bites, but sometimes there is nothing actually...

My position as CEO of To The Fallen Records requires me to be nonpartisan because our primary purpose is to support music artists within the military, but this is an issue that transcends politics and I feel compelled to speak out on behalf of my fellow service members.
