Thanks, good article. Understand the operational environment. Something one of my instructors told me many years ago. Unfortunately even considering the author's points will require our conventional military and civilian leadership to "think outside the box". Peregrino

Excellant read, thanks for posting it.

I just finished Col. TE Lawerance's book as well. Seems the more things change the more the stay the same.
