Lawrence Sellin presents a critique on modern military culture in his latest Human Events essay, Afghanistan and the Culture of Military Leadership.
BLUF: “It has always seemed odd to me that the US military spends billions of dollars on service academies, war colleges, graduate programs and other forms of education in order to train people to think, but then places them inside a bureaucracy that prevents them from doing so.”
Lawrence Sellin, PhD, is a recently retired colonel with 29 years of service in the US Army Reserve. He is a veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq.
