    Default Don't bother reading the paper!

    I agree with Wilf's despair at this writing, albeit from a very different viewpoint. As a concerned taxpayer the author neither describes what has happened nor what is necessary. It is also slightly jarring to read the same sentence or information time after time. As for the lessons UK experience can offer the USA not very persausive.

    Finally I suggest SWJ members don't bother reading it!

    Sadly I did not heed the sage advice above.

    A very strange document. Did I miss the section on moving to EBO or had I just fallen asleep? It struck me as a rambling and quite poorly informed account of the evolution of the UK's approach to operations. The author apparently believes everything he reads.

    I would not judge the standard of military thought in the UK based on this example. Though it doesn't say much about SSI's baseline for publication.
