Wargames Come to Life

by James Rickards Daily Reckoning

I’ve taught a seminar on financial warfare at the U.S. Army War College for the past seven years.

It’s always a delight and a challenge because these people are so smart to begin with. These are serious, super sharp people that any top corporation would love to have. They certainly refute the popular refrain that military intelligence is an oxymoron.

I can assure you, it’s not true.

I usually have about 12 students from all branches (Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard) as well as civilians from the State Department, CIA and other agencies.

They’re generally mid-career, about 35-years old. Some are older, with the rank of Lt. Colonel, Commander, or fighter pilot.
