Special Edition on the Vietnam War – Part II:  America’s lack of critical thinking at the national level and the lessons it should teach us.

Special Edition: The Vietnam War, Part I.  Captain Smith explains America’s lack of critical thinking at the national level and the lessons we need to learn from it.

Part 1: A continuing discussion of critical thinking.  Part 2: Captain Smith introduces the idea of an American economic prosperity model.  Part 3: A book review of Inconvenient Deception: How Al Gore Distorts Climate Science and Energy Policy.

The critical thinking segment of the show focuses on how to manage risk and solve problems when operating in complex environments.  The continuing story of America addresses the four main strategic initiatives for American foreign and domestic policy as articulated by national security adviser Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster. Then Captain Smith begins another discussion about North Korea.

Captain Smith addresses critical thinking in a complex world. He also tackles the Democrats’ (the left’s) efforts to delegitimize the Donald Trump presidency.

This week’s show continues two topics from last week: 1) using critical thinking in the development of risk management training for deepwater oil platform operators and managers; and 2) Edward Klein’s book All Out War and the Never Trump movement. Then, the subject of the “radio essay” is the Art of War by Sun Zu.

Captain Smith discusses using critical thinking in the development of risk management training for deepwater oil platform operators and managers. The “critical thinking storyboard” segment of the show is a tribute to veterans. He also discusses Edward Klein’s new book All Out War: The Plot to Destroy Trump.
