Honored to be invited back as a Non-Resident Fellow for 2021-2022! @WarInstitute is an outstanding organization and I’m humbled to stand among an incredible cohort of scholars and practitioners.

Welcome to our 2021–22 MWI nonresident fellows! https://t.co/xVxy4er3G2

@ThenaEliot I don’t know about fashionable, but it saves a ton of money. I haven’t owned a car going on 2 years now, and haven’t driven to work in 4. Being stationed in places where I can ride an e-bike or take public transportation has been key. Perhaps consider asking their motives

[Brandon @H_BrandonMorgan]

@infantrydort Are you a battalion/brigade S3 or XO?

[Brandon @H_BrandonMorgan]

@infantrydort @us_sams Can you share your white papers here or send over PM? One way or another I’ve been able to write and get published at certain venues such as MWI at West Point - I’m open to providing feedback. If not looking to get published would still be interested in reading your work

[Brandon @H_BrandonMorgan]

@EODHappyCaptain Awesome stuff, congrats to the new graduates

[Brandon @H_BrandonMorgan]

@elysian_looks @SpencerGuard But the premise behind golden dome is impenetrability. I would contend that at the end of the day we will still be highly exposed to devastating attack one way or another except now we’ve spent a lot of money we didn’t have that could have funded other DOD requirements.

[Brandon @H_BrandonMorgan]

@TheKimulation Sure, but the fact that they can hit an MQ9 suggests that it isn’t a 100% safe bet for a manned fighter. Perhaps some targets are easier than others. But for tougher ones it may be worth the TLAM to avoid the low probability, high severity PR disaster of losing an F18 to Houthis

[Brandon @H_BrandonMorgan]

@EODHappyCaptain Circumstances vary. Just because I go to Disney with family doesn’t mean I don’t carry my cell and mute my bosses call if they dial. If I’m on vacation and they call, it’s probably important.

[Brandon @H_BrandonMorgan]

@infantrydort Where do you draw your conclusions from? Would you be able to publish your thoughts on this beyond X? I don’t see much evidence to your claim other than maybe your own limited personal observation

[Brandon @H_BrandonMorgan]

@mick_or_mack The logic of HAMAS existing quickly diminishes upon the establishment of a free and independent Palestinian state. So long as the status quo exists, resistance movements such as HAMAS will be a permanent fixture and security challenge.

@EODHappyCaptain My question would be what would be fair compensation for you? I would personally put the floor at $500k. Thats a considerable life altering trauma. The money should be enough to change my life and hopefully change the company.

[Brandon @H_BrandonMorgan]

@SpencerGuard @WSJ John, what do you think Israel’s objectives would be? How are they better positioned to accomplish them now then they would be before the ceasefire?

[Brandon @H_BrandonMorgan]

I just published my 1st article on medium!

For many of us, commuting by car costs $5000 or more a year. This doesn’t even include the cost of car ownership, which is thousands more.

Can an E-Bike save you a boatload of money this year? Have a read!

@EODHappyCaptain A super cool story, great work! (Shout out to all my fellow presidential historian commenters for reminding us of his apparent lack of skill in the Oval Office. We would all do so much better. Apparently) Anywho..rest in peace

[Brandon @H_BrandonMorgan]

@DuplessisBrad Sounds like a lot of equity 💰 💵 🤑

@tshugart3 Also, I think there’s a serious overvaluation of 🇺🇸 combat experience given that perhaps over 90% of the force has no combat experience, and the ones that do have promoted into senior leadership roles, and as you pointed out - their experience was not against a peer

[Brandon @H_BrandonMorgan]

@TheKimulation If my memory serves me right, I remember one time you posited (after Kharkiv?) that maneuver warfare only really works when your opponent is severely weaker/demoralized than your side. I think you took some heat for that, but to this day I think that was spot on. Still true

[Brandon @H_BrandonMorgan]

@EmmaMAshford Awesome and insightful thread. Pre-ordered your work, looking forward to 2025 📖
