Andrew Strickland - Editor In Chief

Hello, welcome to our site. 2025 is off to big start with another in our F-35 article series. This looks at the JAST program that eventually became the JSF program.

In addition, in this site update, we take a look at an important but under reported weapon system. That is the US Navy's USX-1 Defiant. To read the article, go to the Weapons tab and navigate from there.

We are also launching our new series of Articles on Victory in Asia by Way of Europe. This series looks at how getting NATO right is one key to confronting China globally. The first Article declares the Grand Strategic Objective. To read the article, go to the NATO tab and navigate from there.

In the next few months, we will also continue with our series of articles on the military implications of Quantum Mechanics.

At a personal level I finally graduated from SMU and I am currently debating whether to get a job or go to Grad school. The last semester was rough and time consuming, so I hope we can now increase content on this website.

To recap 2024, Spring semester was quite quite busy and I spent spring break as a Focus Catholic Missionary in Lima Peru. We helped build stairs and retaining walls in the poor areas. It was a powerful experience. I also finished my summer 2024 University classes in Orvieto, Italy. Italy was awesome. Orvieto is a very ancient (as in Etruscan) and beautiful hill top town in Umbria. The wines and food of Umbria are great ! After classes finished, I stayed with my family that lives in the Val Baganza in Northern Italy. What great time!

In June 2024, Fernando Cieza, based in Lima Peru, joined our team as a translator. Our first spanish language content is NOW available. Our first translated article is on PLA Modernization.. Just check the espanol checkbox, and then click the Asia tab. Where you see spanish text click on it. More spanish translations on PLA modernization to follow. We hope to ramp up our spanish content as the year progresses.
