Exciting things happening at NATO

It was a different experience to have an 'organization visit' over lunch at a restaurant, but I enjoyed having it that way to give variety to our visits.  In fact in some ways it was probably better.  Instead of spending time walking around and just seeing different meeting rooms, we got to sit and talk with them in a informal setting.  The first two speakers were very professional and business-like and I had just written that observation down when Patrick, the third presenter got up.  He was a character, but informative.  He spoke about how the organization was very horizontal which makes getting a job there difficult.

This visit was different also because there are exciting things happening in NATO and so we got to hear a lot of current events instead of just history things.  I am curious to explore the quote by the last presenter, Adrian, about "Is security needed for economic prosperity or is economic prosperity needed for security?"
