I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes: Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

Helmand, July 2009. Danish soldiers resting after 8 hours of breaching minefields and clearing houses. Seconds later, I had to wake them to move forward again. To claim allies weren't on the front lines is a lie and an insult to those who served and lost. We stepped up. That's what allies do.

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

Our article on civilian harm and military legitimacy is now available at @iojournal.bsky.social. We believe it has timely implications for events playing out now in the Middle East and beyond. From North Carolina to Northern Iraq, working with Jon and Mara has been a truly rewarding experience!

Just a reminder that Jefferson Griffin and the NCGOP are in court fighting right now to throw out the votes of active-duty American military service members and their families - a voting method Griffin himself used while stationed abroad twice. For shame.

Really proud of my new article with the extraordinary Joe Schottenfeld (coming to a job market near you in the not-too-distant future!). We consider the federal judiciary's vast "administrative" powers and offer a few modest ideas for reform. Read @ www.gwlr.org/the-judicial... (thank you editors!)

It is not an attack on the judiciary to raise genuine questions about various practices, including the assignment of cases in single-judge divisions. Our justice system benefits from the work of thoughtful, engaged people (like @stevevladeck.bsky.social) who seek to understand and improve it. ❤️
