Yeah just like Pete said, we been on that continent since the 60's. I get what you're saying. But FID works so well for economical stability and development. Same can be said about FID in AFG, that's working out well.

I feel it's a lot more than beans and bullets. As with anything we need a Strategic plan, our COCOMs do that so well. TSCP are so well thought out by the COMCOMs and units. It's a lot more than just sending guys in to conduct FID IMHO.

"Oddly enough a book on Genghis Khan the Making of a Modern World talked about how he broke tribal bonds using CA, psyops and adaptation to do it. He would have Christians, Muslims and animist mixed into the same platoon size unit." Brush Okie


Genghis Khan was also known for his willingness to remove your head if you didn't do what he told you to do... And, he didn't have to worry about the press running back to Katie Courie.
