WarNotes: A Conflict Podcast
WarNotes: A Conflict Podcast is an auxiliary effort to the Chasing Ghosts: An Irregular Warfare Podcast to expand the portfolio of the CG agenda. This podcast will address war in the larger contexts adjacent to the rubric of irregular warfare. I'll be inaugurating the new podcast with a series on how to actually change the foundations, context, systems and greater emergence of near-peer/peer conflicts in the 21st century called "Fixing Fight Club". You are witnessing a Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) across many fronts to include autonomous targeting, UAS and hyper-sonic munitions among other emerging technology and military employment techniques.
