Stevenson’s army, June 7

– CJCS Milley has reached out to Capitol Hill leaders.
– “General” Barr backtracks, too.  But Politico has photos of his anti-protester activities in 1968.
– A former speechwriter for Gen. Dunford describes weakening of civilian control of US military.
– Several reports say Trump demanded 10,000 active duty military to be deployed in DC.
-WaPo writer suggests US counterinsurgency and urban warfare doctrine has made militarization of police more acceptable.
– WSJ has long article describing souring of US corporate views of China.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com. You’ll get an email confirming your join request. Click “Join This Group” and follow the instructions to join. Once you have joined, you can adjust your email delivery preferences (if you want every email or a digest of the emails).
