I agree there too
Although if I remember correctly once there's a large enough contingent of redneck's involved it's usually all about working out the terms of the enemies surrenderOriginally Posted by Norfolk

"You must, therefore know that there are two means of fighting: one according to the laws, the other with force; the first way is proper to man, the second to beasts; but because the first, in many cases, is not sufficient, it becomes necessary to have recourse to the second." -- Niccolo Machiavelli (from The Prince)

What about an essay about the roles of SOF and conventional forces in COIN? Prior to OIF, the attitude in the big Army was that COIN was the realm of SOF and they wanted no part of it. That attitude has changed (though not gone away completely) but there is still a disconnect between SOF and the conventional forces. What should each one's role be? What responibilities should be shared and what ones kept sepparate?
Also I was reading one of Kissinger's books and he talked about how the concept of holding the state to the same moral standards as the individual is a relatively new one. At what point does the state's obligation to protect it's people outweigh moral considerations? The state must of needs do things that the individual would find unpleasant or even abhorent. How do we find and define the line that the state must not cross, even to defend its citizens?

[QUOTE=Surferbeetle;38187]How about:

It would be very useful if it could be defined for Infantry Squad/Platoon leader.
or, how about the role of graudates from UC Berkeley in Small Wars?
Seriously here are a few humble suggestions from a student of history
--Historical uses of coersion and its effectiveness in Small Wars
--Historical view of underpinning theories of small wars: e.g., enemy centric, population centric
--A duPicq view of the moral domain of small wars
and of course i am in agreement with Norfolk's "role of rednecks in small wars."
-What is the difference between counterinsurgency and counterterrorism? Can/should the military do both?
-The role of human security in preventing/winning small wars
-Is the law enforcement approach (i.e. knock and announce, constrained use of force) a better approach to the application of force in small wars? Why or why not?
-The Marine Corps has a mantra of "every Marine a rifleman." Can/should all branches of the military follow a similar training regimen to facilitate the augmentation of the Army when necessary to fight a small war? In other words, should non-combat career fields train to take up the slack given the Army's issues with continual deplyments?
-How can air and space power be more effective in small wars (you knew I'd add this)?
