AARs

Guys;

For the American Military to be so smart sometimes it can really totter on the edge of stupidity.

Take this bit... In 1983 our company went to Egypt on Bright Star 83. We were part of a sub-exercise down in the Sudan working with the locals and one of our Ranger battalions that jumped in.

After Bright Star was over there was a big article in the Army Times about lessons learned from working in the desert. One of the big ones was (too much oil on a weapon collects dirt and will cause it to jam). That "lessons learned" was repeated during the first and then the second Guft wars. Of course the British IDed that problem during WWI and then again in WWII.

Staffs love to have people in SF write AARs, post mission reports and whatever they call it nowdays but just think. After all that, is anybody reading them?
