Stevenson’s army, January 3

– Politico has some good advice for new Members from some retiring Members.

– This is the time of year for think tanks to list their warnings and predictions for the coming year. Eurasia group has one. So does FP.  As does CFR’s Jim Lindsay.

– House GOP is complaining about Pentagon culture wars.

– Many people have been writing about decreased trust in US military, drawing on this big survey by the Reagan Institute.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I republish here, with occasional videos of my choice. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com.
