This is Jockel Podcast number 305 with Echo Charles and me, Jockel Willink. Good evening,

echo. Good evening. Also joining us again tonight, Dave Burke, good evening, Dave. Good

day. We are going to continue the review of the book, The Psychology of Military

Incompetence, which we started on Podcast 303, continued 304. We're going to continue

what we did wrong, assessing what we did right, seeing what improvements we could make, seeing
