WEAR PINK UNDERWEAR LIKE CHURCHILL, AND NINE OTHER PRINCIPLES OF DEFENSE ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Yes, you read that right. The West’s roaring lion, the British Bulldog, he of “blood, toil, tears, and sweat”—Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill—“customarily wore underwear made of pale pink silk.” We’ll come back to that later.

I was recently asked to speak at a Defense Entrepreneurs Forum panel at the US Air Force Academy, which got me to thinking about what that actually means.
