Although I disagree with almost every interpretive point that Con made on the show concerning the Surge and Iraq I would like to point out that he is a world-class historian and great teacher. I raise this because sometimes his work on FM 3-24 overshadows his very important and large body of work as a historian. His scholarly work on airpower, especially his work on world war II strategic bombing, still commands the field.
Plus he is a good friend and trusted mentor to me.
