Stevenson’s army, October 28, 2nd edition

As a kid, I got to read two newspapers every day — the Rocky Mountain News [r.i.p.] in the morning and the Denver Post in the afternoon. In the spirit of those days, when many cities had a t least 2 daily papers — and because there’s so much news today — here’s your PM edition.- Pew says only 4% of Trump and BIden supporters plan to split their ticket by voting for a Senate candidate of the other party,  This could lead to the 2016 results when Every winning Senator was from the same party as that state voted for President. But be aware, only 6 states still allow straight ticket voting by a single mark.
-WaPo says people criticized by Trump often need special protection.
Where did the China tariff receipts go? In farmer aid.
-Leaks get action: the inside story of the TR leaks.
And now some good think pieces: Profs Barno & Bensahel on the future of the US Army.
Suggestions for reforming US security assistance.
And great ideas for making better US strategy.

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).
