TDB brought me on to write weekend fillers of pure military history. It's been fun roaming from Cannae to the Crusades, Quebec to Verdun.

Everyone has a hobby, right? Mine just happens to pay as well keep me entertained. I write for Esquire.com. It started off with pure military history but then the editors invited me to stay and write about, well, just about anything. Guns, Rape, Suicide, I've pretty much been hitting all of my hot buttons, and it turns out, readers appreciate my particular.

Georgetown, Washington DC

Teaching graduate students military history, military theory, and strategic thought was perhaps one of the most enjoyable positions I've had in my career. Sharp young men and women, who are there because they are interested, make being a professor a joy. As we used to say when I taught at West Point, "We teach for free, but we get paid to grade." But even.

Baghdad, Iraq

As one of only three Strategist assigned to the Multinational Security Transition Command - Iraq, I was the primary developer of the 2006 Campaign Plan for the command for the years 2006-2009.

Fairfax, Virginia

Teaching a course on WWI, the Interwar Period, and WWII was a fun re-introduction to academic life after having been away for several years after teaching at West Point. Although I could only teach in my spare time, bringing new insights into the George Mason program just as they were starting to develop as a University was an interesting experience. (And.

Washington, DC

During this fellowship I conducted a retro-active analysis of what North Korean doctrine and policy had been from 1953 through 2001 as a part of a conventional disarmament panel, and then 9/11 occurred, and all other projects were tossed aside as the entire Center did what they could to provide rapid and sage advice to the Administration and the.

West Point, New York

My introduction into the life academic was, by any academic measure, unconventional. Most academics attend graduate school (check), obtain advanced degrees (check), then go on to teach students who are interested in their topic (screeching halt). But I loved it. There is nothing more fascinating than an intellectual challenge, and until you have wracked.
