My name is Phil Walter. I am a father, a husband, and a writer.

I have served in the infantry, the United States Intelligence Community, and in strategy and policy roles.

Beyond my personal writings, which are archived here, I run www.DivergentOptions.org with Steve Leonard and Bob Hein.

Divergent Options is a non-politically aligned national security website that does not conduct political activities or generate revenue and, in 1,000 words or less, provides unbiased, dispassionate, candid articles that assess a national security situation, present multiple options to address the situation, and articulate the risk and gain of each option. Please note that while we assess a national security situation and may provide options, we never recommend a specific option.
