What’s haunting the Pentagon this Halloween?
We’re back this year with another spooky edition of The Weekly Break Out. “Mr. Skeleton” (aka Editor-in-Chief Aaron Mehta) welcomes three special guests — and Breaking Defense’s senior networks reporter, who again appears to have not gotten the memo — to talk about what’s keeping them up at night.
Adm. T. Hitchens joins us from Starfleet to discuss weapons in space; Scarecarley Welch is unsettled by a leadership vacuum atop the Army; Mark “Mark” Pomerleau lays out a few cyber conundrums; and Digger Rockwell explains what’s especially alarming about the Air Force’s nuclear weapons plans for the months to come.
