Midrats - Episode 33: The Other Side of Counter Insurgency and the fading of DADT

Thank you for your patience loyal readers. In spite of our technical problems earlier - we have back two guests you have been looking forward to hearing from.

After a decade of conflict - is the impact and influence of Counter Insurgency (COIN) doctrine creating an imbalance in how we equip and train our armed forces?

As we invest our intellectual efforts in the Middle East and Central Asia - how has the situation in the East and Northeast Asia changed?

Join my co-host EagleOne from EagleSpeak and me this Sunday, August 22th at 5pm EST, as we bring on two guests to discuss.

For the first half of the hour will be Douglas A. Macgregor Col. USA, (Ret), the author of USNI Press's Warrior's Rage: The Great Tank Battle of 73 Easting, and Transformation Under Fire: Revolutionizing How America Fights.

A little pre-view of Col. McGregor.


For the second half of the hour, we are going to update a subject we last covered back in Episode 7 in February. As our guest we will have retired Navy Reserve Commander Zoe Dunning, Board Co-Chair of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network on to discuss the lobbying efforts on behalf of repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell" and a status report on where the debate stands.

Join us live if you can and pile in with the usual suspects in the chat room during the show where you can offer your own questions and observations to our guests.
