Ep 080 “The Cargo Cult of Martial Belief, Wishcasting and Bloodshed”

New Chasing Ghosts Podcast episode is live Monday 30 April 2026. Ep 080 “The Cargo Cult of Martial Belief, Wishcasting and Bloodshed” Episode 100! Well, when I combine the 20 episodes of WarNotes with the CG podcasts but a chance to pop the bubbly anyway. Today we discuss the critical lack of critical thinking that has led the US into the unenviable position of being an extraordinarily 20th century fighting force nor fit for purpose for 21st century peer combat. It will get worse. I’ll offer some more recommendations and a path forward. Buppert’s Law of Military Topography: “Mountainous terrain held by riflemen who know what they are about cannot be militarily defeated.” I have been scarce on the X but you can find daily brain-zephyrs from me at my Substack Notes section where I am not distracted by the time vampire here. You can find the episodes on your favorite podcast vendor. Notes: http://cgpodcast.substack.com/notes Email me at [e-mail]
