Stevenson’s army, May 8

Today marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the war in Europe against Germany. Let us commemorate!

[I remember being in a meeting with then CJCS ADM Thomas Moorer in the early 1970s when he complained: “We never lost a war before we created the Department of Defense, and we haven’t won one since.” Typical Navy attitude: it opposed the creation of DOD and JCS in 1947.]
What next? Politico lists 8 more big dangers top worry about.
Lawfare chiefs are dismayed by the dropping of charges against twice-confessed and twice-convicted LTG Flynn.
US is still pressing South Korea for more money. House Intelligence Committee finally releases Russia probe transcripts.
WSJ says US to pull Patriot missiles out of Saudi Arabia.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com. You’ll get an email confirming your join request. Click “Join This Group” and follow the instructions to join. Once you have joined, you can adjust your email delivery preferences (if you want every email or a digest of the emails).
