Are they alternative viewpoints, and good? Often those aims are at odds with one another

 

[wink]

And so should the original view point be "good", often they aren't. It is the not so good original view that demands an alternative response. Viewpoints, opinions, we have all heard it before, "like assholes, everyone has one".

Goods: Base Nation, Blowback, Breach of Trust, Hegemony or Survival, and Limits of Power.

Others: everything else is meh.

The New American Militarism isn't a part of the project, but is also good. Also Bacevich.

He understands just enough to beclown himself with what little he understands. Of course other countries' navies look different from us. That's because they're trying to do different things with them, in relation to where they are located on the planet, what their governments view as a desired political endstate, and what they can afford.

I think that summarizes my opinion of the War on the Rocks site as a whole, great with clickbait but short on substance.

I'd counter that they're better than almost every other related site out there. if you're looking for click-bait, give task and purpose a visit...

For serious defense issues there is a myriad of sites and publications out there that do a much better job of doing actual reporting. And yes, I agree about Task and Purpose but where else would I learn about the 14 differences between Marine and Army infantrymen?

I visit Information Dissemination a fair bit. Good for Navy issues (may be a bit SWO heavy).

This might be something that some smart folks in senior positions might benefit from. Stop training, start developing - there's a difference.
