    Fortification with David Betz - What Would Vauban Say?

    Contributor Professor David Betz visits the podcast to talk about the future of warfare. Rather than pointing to novel information technologies as war’s driving force, David turns to techniques from the past, such as citadel and marching forts, arguing that drivers of future warfare at best is technological in origin only secondary, and that rather than tactics of maneuvering, tactics of fortification is key when looking at the future of warfare.

    Female Soldiers with Iselin Silja Kaspersen - What Would Lotta Say?

    Recently in Denmark, a survey showed that every fifth person in the Danish Army had experienced sexual harassment. This is a lot, but it is less than the general population. How come? Has the work with minimizing sexual harassment paid off? Or do people in the defense tend to report less, than others do? In the studio, contributor Iselin Silja Kaspersen joins Jeppe Teglskov Jacobsen on zoom to talk about how institutions such as the military shape and break our identity.
