It's been 1 month since I published my review of Softwar and Jason Lowery seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth. I suppose we should not expect a rebuttal.

The way to make this make sense is to have a panel of dudes who read Soft War and dudes who read your critique. The dudes can be substituted by women but war is generally a dude's activity.

My problem with the critics are those who have never served in the armed forces may not understand where Jason is coming from.

I have not read his work but I've listened to him many times and I have read his original work on LinkedIn before he was adopted by #Bitcoin Twitter. I've criticized him and I've applauded him.

I served in the 29th Infantry Division as a Fire Support Specialist 13F. I was the division fire support specialist and I handled fire missions, comms and field networks from the division top TOC.

Projecting violence is one thing but projecting that it's a waste of time to be violent against me is even better.

I'm backed into a pipeline of books and I would love to read Jason's book and read your critique in order to balance the misty murky machinations.

I'm inspired to respond and I hope this has been helpful. Unfortunately you may be in a club of a very small group of men and for that I'd Like To Thank You For Your Courage.

If I can be of any service, please let me know.

We've been through a lot, #UASF, #NO2X, we got out hats, etc...

But I have to give Jason's podcasts and thesis a thumbs up.

I have experience working with military "legalist"/strategist, and I get where Jason is coming from, plus where he is going with his work. I think I do.

I would argue your blog post proves more that you do not understand his work than offer a solid rebuttal.

If you want his attention, perhaps restudy his work, and rework your counter position?

Or let's break it down one counterpoint at a time here? See where it goes?

I add GMONEY here, as I think the big picture involves more people inside DoD than most like to admit. nostr:npub1p0azx5nzq2da6vjlkf5rveuc2r0zj3jhhrz6kvhlm3sd7u055s4sw3mfvl
