| Battlefields and Boardrooms - taking the smartest from both and putting them together Posted: 23 Jan 2013 11:03 PM PST The title of this blog is offered somewhat tongue in cheek. Although there are things that the military, like any large bureaucracy, does that could only be classified as, well, stupid, the people in our military are not. There are those with an ideological bent against anything military that love the stereotype of the mindless soldier who can only take orders and never think for themselves (a favorite staple in most hollywood flicks), but our military today is better trained and more carefully selected than ever before in history. The days of "join the Navy or go to jail" are long gone. Many enlisted personnel have college degrees (or have joined to earn the money to get one) and many senior enlisted and officers have both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Our senior leaders, in addition to 20+ years of experience in their field, have often received one or more post graduate degrees from the military postgraduate schools or Ivy league schools as part of their educational career path. |

| N. Korea threatens nuclear test, more rocket launches in wake of new sanctions Posted: 23 Jan 2013 10:04 PM PST SEOUL — North Korea threatened Thursday to carry out a nuclear test as part of an "all-out action" against the U.S., which it called the "main player" behind recently adopted international sanctions. In a statement published by Pyongyang's state news agency and attributed to the National Defence Commission, the North said that Washington's policy toward it had entered "a new dangerous phase." Though an underground nuclear test would not directly threaten the U.S., it would raise stakes for the Obama administration, which has failed to curtail the North's weapons program despite sanctions and short-lived attempts at dialogue.
