  Jeff Baxter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeff (Skunk) Baxter (born December 13, 1948 in Washington, D.C.) is an American rock guitarist and a consultant to the U.S. government on how to apply theoretically unrelated technologies to understanding terrorist thinking and planning.
Baxter's work with that panel led to consulting contracts with the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency; the Pentagon also asked Baxter regularly to lead fictitious enemy forces in war game exercises, and he developed something of a reputation for using very creative terrorist-style tactics.
Baxter himself can speak the acronym-heavy vernacular of the professional defense consultant, but his equally low-key appearance---the bushy mustache and ponytailed hair, his self-deprecating sense of humour, his pop culture references, and his periodic appearances on VH1 music retrospectives---make him almost impossible to mistake for any kind of conventional bureaucrat.

Baxter's surprise, the congressman took it seriously, and the idea proved to be prescient: Aegis missile-defense systems have done well in tests, and the Navy says it will equip at least one ship with the antimissile system by the end of the year.

 Potomac Institute - Executive Luncheon with Jeff Baxter
Jeff Baxter, a leading consultant for the U.S. Department of Defense and member of the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies' Board of Regents, addressed a distinguished audience of media, academia, and government officials regarding the topics of missile defense and potential responses to terrorism.
Baxter began his presentation by stressing the importance of the U.S. having an adequate missile defense system.
This, according to Baxter, is a recipe for disaster, since a malfunction of Russia's satellites has already nearly prompted a missile strike against the U.S. by misinterpreting data as an incoming U.S. attack against Russia.

The idea that Baxter is being taken with sobering seriousness by a contingent that generally associates rockers with degenerates is amazing enough, but his transformation from guitar guru to high-tech defense wizard is even more incredible.
While Baxter is currently in demand as a defense expert, he's not ready to permanently trade in his signature Gibson Epiphone guitar for a cache of Stinger missiles.
