Today, we’re released Episode 2 of Scuttlebutt! As a special treat, we’re offering our non-Patreon members an exclusive sneak peek with a snippet from the podcast. In this Scuttlebutt episode snippet, Professor Barry Stentiford examines whether National Guard Bureau support for State Defense Forces has waned since the Cold War. He explores the historical context of the Cold War era, when State Defense Forces were seen as a critical component of national defense strategy, and contrasts it with the present environment, where modern challenges and priorities may have reshaped this relationship. The discussion highlights evolving perceptions of State Defense Forces and their relevance in today’s defense landscape.
Special Thank you To Professor Barry Stentiford
