Below is an article summarizing our conversation on this week’s podcast. It is provided for those who prefer to read rather than listen. We are now 11 days into the U.S.-Iran conflict. In the first week of the conflict, the US expended more than 3,000 precision-guided munitions, decimated most of …

What’s the difference between a geographic command (like Europe or the Middle East) and a functional command (like cyber, space, transportation, or special operations)? And why does the Unified Command Plan ma…

Fresh off the 126th Army–Navy Game, L.J. and “the Gray” (Sandy Winnefeld) break down a classic rivalry showdown—and the gutsiest coaching decision of the night—before pivoting into how data can (sometimes) see the game coming. L.J. walks through the simple version of his Bayesian logistic regressio…
This week on the Gray and Gritty Podcast, we sit down to hit three big themes at the intersection of war, money, and the modern military. First, we unpack the Pentagon’s new FLM-136 “Lucas” kamikaze drone—a U.S. system reverse-engineered from Iran’s Shahed loitering munition. We get into why “good…
