Changes on a Sunday
Breaking cover
This short Sunday newsletter isn’t analysis but something different.
After some deliberation, I have decided to leave the anonymous cover and start writing under my full name.
I am Thord Are Iversen, a former Navy officer that have been struggling with chronic illness for close to a decade.
Breaking cover doesn't signal any major changes to what I do or how I do things, neither on Twitter or here on Substack.
I hope my writings and analysis, based on the plethora of information openly available in 2023, helps inform the public debate on the topics I cover.
I'm not connected to any institutions or employers.
If I where to choose a title, I'd say "independent defense analyst", though I do this as a hobby.
To me, going public is a big step, but I feel it's the right thing to do at this point in time.
Regards
Thord Are Iversen
Thank you for having confidence in your readers. We value your perspective and look forward to more writing from you in the coming months.
It may sound prejudice, leaving your cover as an officer will give more reliabilities on your works.
I want to cheer your courage to uncover yourself, and I'm looking forward to more interesting works and articles.
Thanks, Mr. Iverson.
