In this week's episode, we had the privilege and the pleasure of a conversation with John Nagl. You must be enjoying an interesting life if when someone writes your name, they have plenty of options for how to address you. In this case, my takeaway was that the proper way to address him is as John Nagl. He has earned the titles Lieutenant Colonel, Doctor, Professor, and Headmaster, along with the descriptors author, scholar, soldier, policymaker, and educator. But his is a case where the man defines the titles, not the other way around. His approach to the careers into which he has launched himself, his ability to see the roadmaps of life and culture, and the way he has influenced so many (many!) of our country's future leaders makes him a fascinating character.
His latest book is a memoir of modern warfare, and of a modern warrior. You should check it out. And you should check out our episode with him. Following are some links to other places you can see and get to know John Nagl. Take a look at them, and the many other clips out there.
