Fuchs is correct. War began from observations.
1. One tribe observed what the other tribe was doing, and observed a weakness within the other tribe. From that point war is one of interest.

I agree with you completely on this point. The author is not trying to prove convergence.
I didn't get the impression Gourley was representing this research in this way, but I agree that this...
It's just that I have been put under protocol before. You should try and call 135 setting republican members of congress f**king cowards for voting "present" when the time came to vote for funding...
Well, I am probably not a welcomed or wanted post on here. It is hard to judge something you don't understand. It probably is better to vet the link first, thanks.
I am not trying to say too much here, only that the power curve is moving up as Sean says; the insurgency is adapting, the structure is changing and it, perhaps, has found a way to get at the ISF,...
Let me show you.
(from my last post) of the attacks is [due to the changing of the orientation, (see this is whats going on. The US military orientation would not have allowed this to happen. It...
Thanks for the heads-up. I was only able to take two terms of physic, the first and last of a three term set. So I studied an AC wave before I studied a Single Harmonic Motion. I went back and read...
"So, I guess I come down more on Wilf's side of the ledger"
Well, I figured I had to start somewhere, so I thought I would just throw it all out there.
I have been told (not in exact terms)...
“exactly what are vertical and horizontal forces?”
War has been defined by many descriptions, but it simply is the displacement of energy, from one orientation into another. This is the main...
"But it can't replace common sense. It was, after all, often physicists who built mathmatical models for pricing financial products. Oops!"
True, common sense would have told us not to put that...
While it might be old news, it is new news to me. I thought the most stunning conclusion was that Alpha was the structure of the insurgency and this structure followed the same slope downward for all...
“I wonder what theory, if any, our asymmetrical opponents adhere to.”
So far I think the strategy of Gamers (http://www.gotgamebook.com/Get%20Ready%20For%20The%20Gamer%20Generation.pdf) Seem to be...
Not a press secretary, a meme, which I suppose could be a collection of a single conscious (SOF).
My OODA loop is fast because I live in a simple environment, with very few influences trying to get into my orientation and decision-making. I, as all Americans do, have implicit laws that enable me...
I am one guy you don't have to respect. As far as COG goes, I think the best maneuver is a flanking move, EBO to me is the firebombing of Japan during WWII, and I believe the forces in Iraq are...
I know I am getting off topic but are not our forces are being maimed and killed because there is a war on? If that is the case then whither we win, lose or even keep trying depends on the vision of...
Again, I apologize for commenting on something I know so little about. This quote from GorTex6 seems completely true to me.
Unless you want to break the trust of your enemy, the enemy needs to see...
I know I shouldn't say anything, but isn't that (FID) like re-orienting an indigenous force that doesn't exist (Saddam's old army and government). Don't you really need a host country first?
I think I can help explain, or perhaps give another perspective, what the extra troops could be use for. When one country goes kinetic against another country, there are a series of events that can...
Quote: "The two major models of pseudo-operations are as intelligence collectors or as operators for direct action missions”.
Cline, like myself, didn’t fully understand the major models of...
When you hear the words "Death squads" it is a safe bet that "mirroring' is not the strategy being deployed. Death squads are an attempt to reorient your enemy into your way of thinking.
While...
Mirroring is not copying your opponents tactics. Mirroring is a strategy. To accomplish this strategy takes information of the implicit nature of your enemy. Once you know your enemy, you can train...
I would think, possibly because I have no expertise in military tactics, that having the Iraqi army mirror the insurgency would be exactly what is needed. If the Iraqi army and the insurgency are...
