Welcome to the DEFAERO Andy Marshall Strategy Series, our discussion with leading thinkers on security, business and technology. Our guest Lt. Gen. Jim Clapper, USAF Ret., the former director of national intelligence and one of the nation’s most experienced intelligence officers and the author of “Facts and Fears: Lessons from a Lifetime in Intelligence,” discusses less the nexus of intelligence and strategy, how intelligence has and hasn’t changed over the decades, role of technology, capabilities developed for the war on terror including Afghanistan and Iraq that are still applicable against great power competitors, deterring China and Russia, and how democracy can survive in a post-fact world with Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian.
This conversation is part of a series on strategists and strategy devoted to the memory of one of the nation’s greatest national security strategists, Andy Marshall, the former director of the Pentagon’s office of net assessment and sponsored by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems.
