War By Other Means

By James

This is where I occasionally write about things related to military conflict. Or literature. Or films I guess.

James knows things and you should read what he writes. He also has a sense of humour, a rarity in the defence pontification business.

Excellent discussion of military matters from a more philosophical perspective.
