Many times I've worked on Teams that were presented a problem to solve only to find that they were working to fix a symptom and not the disease. Step One of the problem solving process is the most crucial... Define the Problem. https://t.co/u7KklnLCMf

We're working on a series on security cooperation, but in the background, we're still thinking about *National Strategy*. Help us throw a bunch of ideas about National Strategy against the wall and see what sticks!! Ideas solicited!! https://t.co/bQ2iNapy7B

A little bit of a "wonky" subject but the US invests hundreds of millions in taxpayer monies in security cooperation. Are we getting our money's worth? https://t.co/b9cysBVGqR

Recently @realErikDPrince wrote “Too Big to Win” an essay that gives an accurate description of our defense failures. I thought his identification of the symptoms was spot-on. I disagree with his diagnosis. READ OPPOSING VIEWS!!

What is security? My 6th grade teacher had a better grasp of it than most policymakers. Tell me what you think…

[John Suggs @JDSuggsJr]

What is security? With drug overdoses killing more Americans per year than any conflict since World War II, we find that Americans think it is defined differently than what the Beltway thinks. How deep is this divide...?

@BillGates, I tried to contact you to get your permission to speak with one of your previous versions (Bill ver-97.0), but my Outlook wouldn't schedule appointments in the past. So, I took a risk... Great lesson, thanks for your time!

Dropping at 9am, is the first installment in our series on strategy. We’re prepared to defend our thesis. All we would ask is a neutral site, Marquess of Queensbury Rules, and the ability to bring our own cut-man. 😉

I am so proud to announce that, in collaboration with Paula Philbin, a great friend and mentor, we have launched Vino, Veritas & Strategy. This social media publication encourages meaningful, light-hearted conversations about the "Great American Experiment" and wicked problems.

I saw this article and I’m confused. I’m not interested in the political implications, but I thought military retirement was based on the highest 3yrs of earnings, not on rank. A retroactive demotion shouldn’t effect retirement earnings. Am I wrong? https://t.co/6PYUiBXtns

@RpsAgainstTrump I am not a partisan, nor a history teacher (God Bless teachers). But I did take a few American history classes in US public schools. We did the negotiation bit, it was called the Missouri Compromise. Wikipedia has the basics: https://t.co/kFLn3M1t33. Epic Fail! #Teachers Rock!
