So, I've been solicited to write an article for a relatively well known national security/military website (it's not War On The Rocks, as awesome as that would be). It's a little odd, but quite flattering, because the website in question usually puts out requests for articles and then presumably picks from the pieces they are sent, and they usually publish pieces from current and former military and intelligence officials, and I'm not either of those barring my two weeks blowing up things for the Royal Engineering Corps.
Only problem is, I have absolutely no clue what to write. They've not given me a timetable, and I am travelling for the next 2 weeks anyway, but it's mildly frustrating.
