Whew, what a slog. A little like the last War Room episode (and possibly the trend for this series) this is full of the seemingly obvious but difficult to articulate. I don't think it's comprehensive by any means and, if I'm honest, I got so far and tacked the Fear, Honest, Interest trinity on because it didn't long enough.

I'd say that having a plan would make this easier, but I started out planning to do something completely different and it just didn't come together so... hopefully it's not too disjointed.

Also hopefully: more explosions in the next one.

Clausewitz kept popping in my head as I listened to your video. Nicely done! Policy leading to Strategy is such a complicated and even imprecise process. It usually starts to go 'south' due to not asking the correct questions from the start. Whether by intention or from ignorance, the end is usually the same: a mess that follows 'victory' for decades to come. History is filled with examples that trail back to the time of spears and shields and bows. The other thing is Policy doesn't necessarily lead to a military Strategy. Only if no other route appears to be available. Or reasons. Anyway, looking forward to your next video on the subject!

Another great edition to the new series. Would love to see an exploration of operational theories similar to the strategic bombing episode from earlier. You talk a lot about combined arms, but where did it originate? Jomini to Liddell Hart, COIN, irregular warfare, compound warfare, to the latest in autonomous warfare are ripe topics for discussion.

Well, combined arms probably first started when a cave man with a spear covered a cave man throwing a rock so... it's just a thing really
