Chester is . . .

. . . Josh Manchester. From 2000 to 2004, Manchester was in the US Marine Corps, deploying to Egypt, Kuwait, and Iraq. A combat engineer officer, he participated in planning for the invasion of Iraq at various levels. Manchester has a wide familiarity with Marine Corps history, combat engineering, command and control, and logistics. He received a BA with honors from Duke University.

"The Adventures of Chester" has been operating since October, 2004. Military strategy, foreign affairs and the course of the war are the main topics. Manchester is unafraid to tackle the big issues in international affairs and does so quite frequently. He has been interviewed on Hugh Hewitt's radio program, and by David Asman on Fox News Live.

Manchester's work has also been featured in the Wall Street Journal's Opinionjournal.com, The Weekly Standard's Daily Standard, The New York Post, The Washington Examiner, and PajamasMedia's Politics Central. He is a regular contributor to TCSDaily.

Manchester's opinions are solely his own and do not represent those of any US government agency, military service, private organization, media service or anyone else for that matter.
