Targeting

[Ron Humphrey]

So how is any of that a product of "effects based thinking"?

This is leadership and common sense. That is what the military should create. Men who can impose their will on others in dangerous and difficult circumstances, to get them to do things they don't want to do or don't know how to.

I always come back to the same thing. How is anything "effects based" different from anything we ever did that worked? How does calling it effects based, make it better?

is to create a standardized system which can be used as a sort of quick reference guide for those of us to whom common sense might not be such a common thing
