Sacred cows make the best burgers.

As one who has gone after a sacred cow or three, it's worth pointing out that the cow isn't always the one who becomes hamburger.

and the bus that you got thrown under when the sacred cow survived, tenderized your hindquarters in addition to doing interesting things to your internal organs.

Note to self: Never say again in the earshot of the 101 AASLT CDR, that operational-level maneuver is a great thing, but the only thing dumber than a "true" air assault - was an opposed airborne operations

hurts more when the bus moves back and forth - and then they switch drivers for more of the same

As a regular attender of the monthly VTCs, I am heartened in how the SWJ/SWC has been worked into the COIN Center.

As the greater military bureaucracy tends to destroy that which it attempts to merge with, intellectual distance is necessary to keep the concept of COIN alive. And the SWJ/SWC can be a necessary part of that process.
