"American retrenchment"美國裁員
早在進入白宮西翼工作以前，麥克馬斯特就是陸軍之中最接近軍人學者的人物。他關於越南的著作《玩忽職守》(Dereliction of Duty)，對美國大體上基於自欺欺人的蹩腳決策過程做出了毫不留情的陳述。
策略自戀 VS “strategic empathy”
這讓我回想起麥克馬斯特在上任第一天問的問題：我們是否要面對“當代的恩尼格瑪密碼”？原來，這一次的恩尼格瑪密碼就是我們自己。美國人希望擁有無與倫比的力量、全球影響力，以及隨之而來的經濟增長和自由，沒有任何挑戰，就像我們在第二次世界大戰結束時以及後來蘇聯解體後短暫經歷的那樣。但我們希望它們是免費的——無需在世界範圍內進行戰略投資，無需預先部署部隊，也無需集結主要由美國發明的科技力量。
麥克馬斯特眼中最大的“戰場”，就在美國國內。

There was a notable correlation between battlefield casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan and support for Trump.
