I am a fan of the USMC CAP program but at the same time acknowledge what I read on another thread here that you cannot simply take the Vietnam model; lock, stock and barrel; and plop it down into Iraq. Situational adjustments need to be made. That said, had we utilized a CAP-like program early-on and had sufficient resources to guarantee security going into Phase IV the current sit in Iraq may have looked a bit better. Of course, Monday morning quarterbacking is always a breeze.
