Steven Metz <<BIO>> actively associates himself with two concepts I find questionable.

First, the notion of a "case study" drives me bonkers. In GEN McChrystal's case, it allows Metz to dismiss out of hand the specific circumstances of how the RS article was written so he can write in generalities about other topics.

Second, Metz is one of those transformation/RMA guys who likes to write/talk/speak about new ways of warfare and all that.

But I'm not bitter.
