I think this is a really good Article on SWJ. I like it because Andrew Bacevich’s makes some great points within his Article on David Kilcullen's Book.
Quote:
Like.. Andrew Bacevich also writes, in one of the best parts of his review: “If counterinsurgency is useful chiefly for digging ourselves out of holes we shouldn’t be in, then why not simply avoid the holes? Why play al-Qaeda’s game? Why persist in waging the Long War when that war makes no sense?”

This is going to be on my reading list.
