Col Alexander
Coast to Coast had an interesting guest on last night, Col. Alexander.
“I think we have already entered the next World War,” said Col. John Alexander, the main guest of Tuesday’s program, and the author of Winning the War: Advanced Weapons, Strategies, and Concepts for the Post-9/11 World. Alexander believes what he calls “World War X” began with the US response to 9-11. We have achieved something “Islam has not succeeded in doing in the last 1300 years,” and that’s uniting their separate factions,” he argued.
He also mentioned tasers as a good way to defend yourself, especially in your own home. Too bad they’re illegal in Canada. How does one defend their homes in Canada, anyway? A knife?
The Col. has a few interesting books:
Winning the War: Advanced Weapons, Strategies, and Concepts for the Post-9/11 World ($US orders)
Future War: Non-Lethal Weapons in Modern Warfare ($US orders)
