Summary: Does the United States need an American Foreign Legion, recruited globally, to fight wars that have “moved beyond lethality” and that are now firmly entrenched in what many call “gray zone conflict,” that area between conventional war and idealized peace? “Cunning adversaries like China exploit the space between war and peace for victory,” while the U.S. remains stuck in a perception of war that favors conventional military operations increasingly irrelevant to the modern age. Please join us for a conversation with Dr. Sean McFate who, in his new book, proposes the new rules of war for an “age of entropy [in which] corporations, mercenaries, and rogue states have more power and nation-states have less.”
