Sir, my name is Aidan and I am a cadet at West Point. I just found your podcast and I think it's incredible. Very insightful. I am a War Studies major at USMA and found your episode on Jomini while I was looking for an audiobook version of his Summary on the Art of War. It was a great and informative introduction and a good primer for the readings in my "war and it's theorists" class. I love the idea of your podcast and what you are trying to achieve with it. Thank you sir, and keep up the great work.
