The Col. Gentile collection and debate

For me though, the more important aspect of my article was why these types of war are so hard to fight from the perspective of the combat soldier.

But, sir, isn't that your job as their leader to tell them? I can't even imagine what it must be like for someone who served in Anbar in 2004 and saw his buddies killed by a Sunni insurgent, and then comes back this year and is now told the Sunnis are his friends. IMHO, you need to explain to him what's going on and why.
