A weekend catch-up following the white screen of death as the site was down for a day and half\u2026Afghanistan is still front and center and today we have one of the best takes on the situation I have read yet. The Small Wars Journal has a short piece,  Passing the Baby <\/a>, that is powerful. Here is a sample, \u201cNo image better depicts what our Nation and our Uniforms means to others than this photo. An Afghan mother, in desperation, passes her baby to a US Uniform.\u201d <\/em>Read the whole thing; chills, goosebumps and maybe a tear or two. War Room concludes their, IRREGULAR WARFARE IS GREAT POWER COMPETITION \u2013 PART 2<\/a> and it is definitely worth your time. This will be the future. And speaking of future, how about wrapping things up with 6 Fascinating Facts About the Tardigrade, the Only Animal That Can Survive in Space<\/a> from Popular Mechanics! I will be listening to both podcasts: Afghanistan Debacle<\/a> from Net Assessment and Diplomacy Shaken Not Stirred<\/a> from Horns of Dilemma during this week’s commute.<\/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

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. 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
