    The world of military academies is pretty foreign to me. But my feeling is that students attending them should be held to honor codes similar to most universities, not wildly higher standards that can be weaponized against them by military officers.

    I've said in regards to state actors conducting intelligence activities in cyberspace that at best we see glimpses of a vast picture. Those glimpses often feel like they take place in an atmosphere akin to this piece: an ambient frequency, resonant if you can just tune in.

    Espionage is a strange profession and an odd world to live in, thanks to for recounting how it feels and looks when you’re inadvertently thrust into it.

    It's almost as if losing wars and turning those losses into victories is what prepared the ground for the way Donald Trump and the Republican Party are treating his defeat in the election of 2020.
