Goat Rodeo #4 - War Plan Signal Leaks, Border Market, and Too Many Damn Exercises

This Episode: Garrett, Simon, and Dave dive into a whirlwind of leaked war plans, JD Vance’s rise as a meme-worthy main character, and why no one wants to work the southern border. They unpack what Signal leaks mean for national security, whether the innovation economy should treat DHS as a growth market, and how DoD’s slow roll on border support is reshaping interagency dynamics. Plus: DIU goes international, ITAR headaches, and why the GWOT retiree crowd isn’t signing up for Border Patrol.
