Therefore, I do not support his argument that the importance of professional military officers understanding and studying force management do to the lack of substantive and systemic evidence supporting his thesis.

Since my freshman year I have always thought that the Military might be the path for me. One thing that I know about myself is that I need structure to succeed, where has more structure than our armed forces? One thing I knew about myself is that if I joined the Military I wouldn’t want to be just another soldier on…

Using the Defense Security Service Insider Threat Risk Equation Where, Risk = (threat, vulnerabilities, values, or consequence), I propose the Risk of Russian insider threats has grown substantially, that US citizens, many with DoD security clearance access, maintain radicalized or adverse political beliefs favorable to Russia.
