When the U.S. Marine Corps selected me as a fellow at Yale University’s International Security Studies Program and the Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy in 2012, I was not exactly sure how the year would unfold.

The Overton window varies over time (either by shifting, shrinking, and/or expanding), thereby demonstrating the gradual evolution of societal norms and values.

These degrees of…
