A Boiling South China Sea and The Secretary of State
I’ve been kicking around a new article on the Chinese buildup in the South China Sea since November but have never gotten around to completing it. Hopefully that will come later today as I have been able to clear the deck, so to speak, on a bunch of other projects.

One of our primary missions at The Cognitive Warrior Project is “to promote discussions that will better prepare entry-level Special Operations Forces for the challenges they face while ‘growing up SOF.’” In support of that mission, we feel that special operations forces
