Beer call on the concerns of the departing Marine lieutenant, and the responses

In light of the recent
discussion on "The Best Defense," former Marine
lieutenants Michael Haft and Harrison Suarez invite you to join in a
constructive discussion about the state of ideas in the Marine Corps and how to
internalize lessons learned from the past decade of war.

To set the table for the discussion, here is
their suggested reading list:

"Why Our Best Officers are Leaving" - The Atlantic


"Military Needs More Disruptive Thinkers" - Small Wars Journal


"General Failure" - The Atlantic


"General Trainor: I Spent a Career Thinking and
Being Heard"

Please post any additional suggestions to the
comments section.

The simple premise for their
discussion is that the Marine Corps is a great institution, one that America
needs, but, like any organization, there is always room for improvement.

All services and all ranks are welcome.
Different perspectives encouraged.

We'll meet up at 6:00pm on December 28th, 2012 near Dupont Circle.
