An Aussie View od Counter-Insurgency Ops
See link.:

Note this is a fairly long article. I'm interested in what the membership here thinks of his views, as well as his seeming ease, in getting the ear of some of our importatnt people. IMHO, we have far better people with more experience then him in the SF Community.

It will be interesting to see if Kilcullen stays on now that Ambassador Crumpton is leaving. Amb. Crumpton is somebody I look up to, I am sorry to see him go, and it distresses me to hear this from him.

Kilcullen

Hour long Charlie Rose interview with Kilcullen. Pretty good stuff.

Still want to quit?
