My most important takeaways so far, from reading "Battlegrounds" are the ideas that LTG McMaster describes as "strategic narcissism" and "wishful thinking/fantasies." These awful constructs were readily apparent with Obama's thinking about the Afghanistan war, and manifested themselves in stupid behavior such as Obama announcing a timetable for troop withdrawal when signaling an unwavering commitment was called for.

I am very much enjoying LTG H.R. McMaster's "Battlegrounds" as I associate the tenor of his writing with his education at the highest levels in the discipline of history. I appreciate his analogy to Icarus in "flying too high versus flying too low." I also appreciate his detailed take on cyber operations of the Russian GRU run "Internet Research Agency" against US elections in 2016 and 2020, which no doubt continue.
