While I was in class, I was still driving to work everyday so that made time for podcasts but not much else. With that in mind, today\u2019s post will be very podcast heavy. I was able to take in quite a few and there are definitely some must listens over the last couple weeks. While the list is a bit overwhelming, I suggest that you look back to find a way forward with: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/mwi.usma.edu\/what-have-we-learned-from-twenty-years-of-war\/\">What Have We Learned from Twenty Years of War?<\/a><\/em> from the Irregular Warfare Project. This is really good and if you are interested in UW even slightly, you should give it a listen. I purchased the book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guerrilladiplomacy.com\/\">Guerilla Diplomacy<\/a> because of it. Sticking with the UW theme, The Modern War Institute has, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/mwi.usma.edu\/mwi-podcast-on-resistance\/\">On Resistance<\/a><\/em> which provides a unique perspective on preparing for resistance prior to occupation. It makes sense, but it has to be a tough pill to swallow for a country to think of themselves in the position of planning FOR occupation. On a more depressing note, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.longwarjournal.org\/archives\/2021\/10\/ep-57-the-emperor-was-nude-all-along.php\">Ep. 57 \u2014 The Emperor Was Nude All Along <\/a><\/em>from Generation Jihad dissects what went wrong in Aghanistan. If you are into reading this weekend, look no further than The Modern War Institute&#8217;s, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/mwi.usma.edu\/teaching-technology-innovation-and-great-power-competition-at-stanford-part-2-semiconductors-and-strategy\/\">Teaching Technology, Innovation, and Great Power Competition at Stanford, Part 2: Semiconductors and Strategy<\/a>. <\/em>There is so much here that I don\u2019t know where to begin. Hopefully, I will be able to resume regular posting next week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Inspired by the Cognitive Raider Initiative, The Cognitive Warrior Project has put together a daily list of diverse articles that can easily be chosen from to play a part in developing a more mentally agile warfighter that embraces the adaptation required for tomorrow\u2019s battlefield. Our intent is to create a space where you can choose one or two articles a day (about 10 minutes) instead of mindlessly scrolling social media.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>As a reminder: The Cognitive Warrior Project is a private media site, and it is not affiliated in any way with Special Operation Forces, the Department of Defense or the U.S. Government.
