"It’s easy for me to choose my friends: My conversation style involves blurting out bizarre and enigmatic sentences, and anyone with the patience to put up with it is a friend of mine. (Call it 'argument by spaghetti': throw everything against the wall and see what sticks.)" -Helen Rittelmeyer

About Me

Dave Kasten
Just one guy's notes on warfare, international relations, and life in D.C. Contact me at dave dot kasten at gmail dot com.

A brief disclaimer, since I'll probably be writing a lot on Afghanistan:
I cowrote this report on Afghan Security Forces with Anthony Cordesman and Adam Mausner, but no comments I make on this blog should be taken as speaking for anyone except myself.
