Some have experienced trouble accessing the electronic ballot we sent in an email yesterday, getting this message " We're sorry. You have already taken this survey".

   We've changed the link to go through our website and believe it will work for most.  Access issues seem to be due to which internet browser is being used.  If you're still having trouble, please copy and paste the new link into another browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari.  If all else fails, keep in mind that you can still use the pre-paid paper ballot that is in the January issue of The Chief.  Please take the time to vote for your National Officers.

   Anatomy of Failure is part Von Clausewitz, part Tom Clancy, with personal insights by Harlan K. Ullman that brilliantly translate why the United States, the most powerful nation on earth, has so often fallen short of its objectives. --Michael Lord Dobbs, creator of the series House of Cards.

  Why, since the end of World War II, has the United States either lost every war it started or failed in every military intervention it prosecuted?

  Harlan Ullman's new book answers this most disturbing question, a question Americans would never think of even asking because this record of failure has been largely hidden in plain sight or forgotten with the passage of time.

 The most straightforward answer is that presidents and administrations have consistently failed to use sound strategic thinking and lacked sufficient knowledge or understanding of the circumstances prior to deciding whether or not to employ force.
