Analyst's note: Absolutely must hear. Bob Anderson (national security consultant), joined by William J. Dell and John Bernard as they sit around the virtual round table, and deliver news, studies, analysis & opinion on U.S. national security. There is no more timely or topical radio show in the world today connecting-the-dots to frustrate designing U.S. enemies both foreign & domestic.
Will is a Navy Master Chief (Retired) and the editor and publisher of Freedom-Fighter's Forum. John is a First Sergeant, USMC (Retired) and publisher at Let Them Fight or Bring Them Home.
Hear John discuss elements of his latest article 'Friendly Persuasion' Subverted the Enemy Assessment Process and Robbed Our Warriors of a Chance to Win and Survive in Afghanistan; Three- years-Ago! John has identified a "mole" and a "useful idiot" in the Department of Defense. If you this is all just past history, then think again ....
"[....]Keep in mind that we were in the process of trying to define the nature of an enemy and the local population in a country that is 99% Muslim. Add to this the fact that an Analyst had been hired, by the Department of Defense to produce a study defining not only the religion but it's likely affect on the decision-making process of not only the enemy but the local population as well.
[....] Whether his defense contract background is or was an issue is a topic for another day but being selected to serve in one of the top military billets in government without a resume´ including military service is disrespectful of those serving at-the-least. "
[....] The next entry to the story will introduce you to the Analyst and his work. I want to remind the reader that his contribution to the assessment of the 'human terrain' in Afghanistan was crucial to rounding out our entire understanding of the very people our Warriors would be surrounded by, day to day. It is unreasonable and sophomoric to arbitrarily exclude any element of a society, the culture, the religion, the economy or the standard of living from the assessment. Any of these can motivate people, in normal times, to act in ways that can lead to violence. Add to this the stresses of War and the inclusion of an outside, uniformed force and all of these elements take on a new dimension. If you consider the possibility that the uniformed force is likely to be seen, as an occupying force of pagans and a religiously defined unclean element and the opportunities for covert and overt violent acts or even a general lack of cooperation should be apparent. [....]"
Our national security is still at great risk from the impact of the wrong decisions that were made a few years ago in the Department of Defense. Our suffering will continue until this issue is openly and completely understood. We must come to grips with the reality of the Islamist enemy who still has our nation and all our citizens in their crosshairs ... BEFORE it is too late.
