America Captain, U.S. Navy, retired, with career in American nuclear submarines during the Cold War. Former President, EG&G Rocky Flats in Colorado. It was a former DOE nuclear weapons factory but my job was to return it to “green field” which it later became. Graduated from U.S. Naval Academy, Class of 1965 and U.S. Naval War College, Class of 1986. MA’s in Strategic Studies/National Security and International Relations Very interested in complexity of modern society and how lessons from the past can help to mitigate the Great Divide observed today. Adding to my bio after a year, I expand my quest beyond American dysfunction, evident to most. Absent American decisive leadership AND money, what nations or individuals can or will accept and achieve that role of leadership and financial power to advance the ideals of democracy?
