It’s been quite some time since I have responded to “mail” so I have curated five questions to address:.

What are your thoughts on the Maduro and VZ kerfuffle?

How do you fix the defense acquisition system and fraud?

What should the US Navy do in the 21st century?

How did GEN Paul Emil Lettow-Vorbeck do it (preview)?

Are American SOF capable of 21st century mission success?
