Traditional Q and A to round out this week: A high school senior sent five questions about American culture for a class assignment, so I answered all of them. The smartphone posture you'll see everywhere the second you look up. Political division and why your neighbor isn't your enemy. Whether Americans can still stand on their own or just push a button and wait. What the toilet paper shortage actually revealed. Being capable of violence and choosing not to use it. Independence as a core American value and what convenience has done to it. Why people born here won the lottery and forgot. A new father who cut off contact with his own dad asks whether there's any benefit to his daughter knowing that story someday. How my parents handled it with my grandfather. The difference between trauma and hardship, and why only one of them builds anything.

For years now, the war in Ukraine has been fought on a largely static battlefield—characterized by attrition, with little opportunity for maneuver, and with only incremental changes to the front lines. But recently, seemingly out of nowhere, Ukrainian forces began recapturing territory held by occupying Russian forces. The gains steadily accrued until, in mid-September, Ukrainian officials for the first time confirmed the ongoing Operation Vivaldi. But although the operation's name was only publicly mentioned in September, the foundations of the operation’s achievements extend back months, and even years. On this episode, retired Australian Army Major General Mick Ryan shares his insights on how Ukrainian forces have accomplished what eluded them for much of the war and examines what the operation might tell us about the war’s future trajectory. The MWI Podcast is produced with the generous support of the West Point Class of 1974.

Why do talented, hardworking men still lose? Former Navy SEAL David Rutherford welcomes back Rich Graham, a former SEAL Team 10 operator and the founder of Full Spectrum Warrior, who says it's rarely the skill that takes a man out. It's the stuff on the side: his lifestyle, his discipline, his decisions and what happens at home. Rich saw it training police officers who could barely get into a kneeling position in their gear. He points to Tiger Woods, who in Rich's view lost number one because of his life off the course, not his golf, and to the SEAL Teams, where he says guys rarely lose the trident for bad operating. You'll hear the sniper school rule Rich applies to every mistake: let the missed shot go, but know why you missed, or your next shot is just a guess. Rich explains why owning your mistakes takes away everyone's ammo, why making the SEAL Teams still left a huge void in his heart, and how to tell if you're really succeeding when you're winning at work and losing at home. He also walks through his new book, The Full Spectrum Warrior Lifestyle: An Introspective Guide to Creating Balanced, Long-Term Success, out December 1. Guest: Rich Graham is a former SEAL Team 10 operator, firearms instructor and the founder of Full Spectrum Warrior. He created the Navy SEAL Kettlebells program, the Combat Mobility System and the Protectors Summit, and he founded Home Front K9 Project, which trains and donates service dogs to disabled veterans from the Special Operations community.
