FPRI Essays on the U.S. Armed Forces

It's a bit out of character for me to post an e-mail essentially in its
entirety here, but I got this message from the Foreign Policy Research
Institute today with links to many nice essays about the US armed forces
(including one by a former professor of mine at Nebraska, Pete Maslowski).
Looks like I just missed getting this posted on Veteran's Day in the
continental US, but it's worth having a look nonetheless.

Enjoy!
