Coming back closer to the topic I found this gem and rather than just refer to it in passing I thought it deserving of attention in it s own right.

Combat Leadership

LIEUTENANT COLONEL JAMES M. FISHER, USA 1990 gets it just about perfectly right IMHO.

Apart from the first paragraph of the Analysis which is just too specifically US for my understanding I agree with and relate with everything.

I just love it when by chance I find a kindred spirit.
