I read this earlier today on my RSS feed. I like Michael's perspective on it. Lately, many of his posts have been critical of higher leadership as he has lost some embed opportunities or been frustrated with lack of action sending more troops, etc. He made some good points defending the leadership and their tactical decision NOT to paint the Strykers tan prior to this point. Ultimately I would agree that we need some in both green and brown. Or maybe green with some tan accessorizing. It could be a fashion statement...

For Americans war is almost all of the time a nuisance, and military skill is a luxury like Mah-Jongg. But when the issue is brought home to them, war becomes as important, for the necessary period, as business or sport. And it is hard to decide which is likely to be the more ominous for the [terrorists] -- an American decision that this is sport, or that it is business.
