Returning tonight from Gettysburg, where our @rollinscollege Crummer School of Business Executive MBA program conducted their first leadership “staff ride.” I’d say it was a success, and feedback is suggesting they say the same. Thanks Doug Douds for your mastery!

Reports now that Hegseth oversold the war to Trump and underestimated Iran's willingness to fight back. It's almost as if he's unqualified for his job. Too bad the Senate didn't have confirmation hearings; those would have proven his manifest unsuitability to lead the Pentagon.

I hope all Americans read this to get a better understanding of what @NATO is & what it does instead of listening to the uninformed trash our most important security alliance.
The Bulwark@BulwarkOnline

To interpret the hesitation of NATO allies to join in Trump's unilateral and incoherent war as abandonment is to misunderstand the alliance entirely. Which, of course, is what the president is doing. New from @MarkHertling: lnk.thebulwark.com/4tjrZM3

@BulwarkOnline @MarkHertling Another superb piece by Hertling. I'm curious where the figure "800 lbs. of radioactive material" comes from. This is yet another instance where an additional set of numbers, here U.S. imperial units, causes confusion. Iran is reported to have 441 kg of weapons-grade uranium.

"Tactical moves must be sequenced into an operational campaign, and military campaigns must be tied to a political objective." @MarkHertling learned that in a wargame. That's the easy way. Is Trump about to make us all learn it the hard way? lnk.thebulwark.com/4sKtu6g

One of the true pleasures of a book tour - beyond telling the story of “If I Don’t Return” - is seeing old friends and meeting new people. My driver from Desert Storm, the 2025 West Point class president, and the mom of a dear friend! Thanks to everyone!
