    History is written by the victors so today belongs to those who advocate Brexit. The rest of us should hope and work for a Brexit that is better than we fear. But there is no reason to dilute our central case: to be pro-European is to be pro-British.

    Conflict is changing. Humanitarians and the military need to change too. In my lecture to the future US Army leadership at West Point, I outline the 6 dimensions of change in conflict where we work today:

    I am convinced that it is in the interests of the people we serve that there be a massive intl effort to reverse the trend of ignoring International Humanitarian Law and making excuses for flouting it. I call this trend the “Age of Impunity.”
