In the last two decades do you know who else asked the question, \u2018Why didn\u2019t they fight?\u201d Mullah Omar and Saddam Husein. I have no actual knowledge that the collapse of the Afghan Army will give rise to a protracted insurgency but I have hope as the flag of the Northern Alliance rises again. For stories about the Northern Alliance check out the Hindustan Times, ‘Northern Alliance’ flag hoisted in Panjshir in first resistance against Taliban<\/a>, the Long War Journal\u2019s, After fall of Kabul, resistance to Taliban emerges in Panjshir <\/a>or Reuters, Protests against Afghan Taliban spread in early signs of resistance<\/a>. And if you think this is the end of Irregular Warfare since we are refocusing on the Great Power Competition, I suggest this, IRREGULAR WARFARE IS GREAT POWER COMPETITION \u2013 PART 1<\/a> from War Room. Oh and there is other stuff going on in the world, for that check out Africa News\u2019 Burkina Faso: 47 dead in new jihadist attack in the north<\/a> and so much more in today\u2019s Daily Dump!<\/p>\n

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

None of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, DoD or Space Force have endorsed, supported, directed, or participated in the creation of the content at this site, or in the creation of the site itself. It\u2019s just a media site that happens to cover the U.S Military, DoD and other National Intelligence Assets.<\/em><\/p>\n
