I think the point you make about the lack of impact on the institution as a whole of 100-20 is spot on. All the references to LIC, OOTW, and MOOTW were little more than lip service to most officers. It appears that many of my Leavenworth students drifted through their MOOTW classes without a look back (until they got to Haiti or later Iraq...)

As to your "issue" with me: I interpreted your comment on p. 359 based on your discussion of the 70s and 80s where you said, "Of note, during this time period there was no doctrine on counterinsurgency, peace operations, or stability operations." 100% true for the 70s. 100-20 on COIN/LIC is 81. Peace ops and stability ops do not appear until the 90s.

So, I guess we really agree on far more than we disagree.
