Have a look at the commentary on the Gentile - v- Mansoor debate, on the KIngs College London website of the Insurgency Research Group: http://insurgencyresearchgroup.wordpress.com/
Nicely commends SWJ: Via the ever-useful Small Wars Journal I came across this super piece in the Wall Street Journal by Yochi Dreazen on the recent contributions of LCOL Gian Gentile to the on-going US defence reform battles.
The author is David Betz, who has written 'Redesigning Land Forces for Wars Amongst the People' : http://kingsofwar.files.wordpress.co...sp-article.pdf

Thanks for mentioning me here and I was happy that the WSJ article highlighted some of the arguments that I have been making about the security situation in Iraq and the condition of the American Army. In that regard I was very happy about the article. However, and I have said this in other postings as well, I was not happy with how the article portrayed me as a defiant serving officer raising his nose at authority. I am not that way and I appologize for the quote at the end of the article that leaves the reader with this impression.
Concerning the Kings College commentary when I went to the website you mention I could not find it; could you please point me in the right direction to it?
thanks
gian
