As we wait for Gen. McChrystal’s report on the war in Afghanistan I thought I would call your attention to this YouTube video in which the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen invites questions from the public on national security and military personnel issues for an online discussion billed as a virtual town hall. The forum for submitting questions ends tonight at midnight, so be sure to get your question in. Admiral Mullen is in the news for his critique of recent U.S. efforts to counter Islamic extremism using “strategic communication,” efforts which he says lack credibility. His solution is to simply let our actions speak louder than our words. Wise man.
