The part that has intrigued me so far are the sections on bad guy lessons learned in Chapter 3 beginning on page 42. Regardless of whether you buy in to the future as proposed by BNW, the lessons learned from Iraq (what Robb calls the modern equivalent of the Spanish Civil War) will likely be studied, used and improved upon by a wide-assortment of guerrillas, terrorists and criminals.

What concerns me is that we have a hard time learning our own lessons (though I think we are doing a much better job now in at least capturing lessons) - so who is capturing enemy lessons learned into a relevant and accessible form for use by the good guys?

I imagine the IC (to include the Service Intel centers and activities) may be doing some of this – but is it readily accessible to those that need it to include future planners and concept writers?
