I sincerely hope so. I know I'm tired of it.

In a rational discussion/argument between two people that are cooperating with each other (trying to come to the "right" answer) then they will end up at the correct opinion/idea, regardless of...

Thanks for the clarification on the intel issue, I was using my rather bad memory from before we invaded Iraq.

I also don't believe that John Q. Public is stupid (I hope not, as I am John Q....

What takes place in this forum is radically different from Joe D. Citizen regurgitating the latest quip that he heard from the latest pundit (of either side of the aisle) which happens on a far more...

Excellent! I had the pleasure of working with him on TF 58. I have a funny story about him, but will not derail the thread with it. ;)

Tom,

Thanks for the bibliography, that was exactly what I was looking for.

As to the other part, I've been away from the forum for a while and didn't know that the "Introduce yourself" thread...

After perusing the "library" one could become a bit overwhelmed. If there was to be a "Small Wars Reading List" what would it contain? I'm looking for a relatively condensed reading list that...

Another thing against this idea is the fact that Soviet and Chinese radar can't tell the difference between a non-nuke Trident and a nuke Trident. I believe that would cause some concern.

Thanks for posting this. It was a great essay and just the thing that more reporters, politicians, and officers/enlisted need to start to use. I just wish that it was longer.

I don't want to hijack this thread even further than it already is but working with the British and Australian armies and their enlisted rank structure made me think about ours. Their corporals were...

From National Review by Mackubin Thomas Owens

Are they implying that having a Western presence is as worrisome as a failed government?

Other than that they do bring up a good point that we can't provide a "whole" solution of politico-military...

This quote made me think about initiative. If we look at Iraq before we went in there was no active insurgency. After we attack there is an insurgency. By saying that counter-insurgency ops is...
