I disagree on Bergen; as I said, having read a bit of his stuff, I see no expertise; familiarity, yes -- but that's not expertise to me. Your mileage obviously varies and that's fine.
I agree with you both on Mylroie. Only making an issue of it because this seems to me to more an unnecessary political / ideological thread effort than one pertaining to warfare... ;)
Which being true does not affect the fact
that this is an ideological and not a practical discussion -- nor does it confer any expertise on Bergen...
