    Default Reading on COIN in Afghanistan: a place to start

    Moderator's Note

    This was called 'UK Army officer writes' and has had a two post thread merged in 'Books that might have changed the war'. Now it is called 'Reading on COIN in Afghanistan: a place to start'. On a quick review I cannot see other threads here to merge in, although a number cover reports etc (ends).


    Published in The (UK) Independent, an anonymous Welsh Guards officer writes on the war in Afghanistan: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...f-1769938.html

    Opening sub-title: 'There is no refuge, no place to go to deal with your grief'
    In the first ever unauthorised dispatch from an officer on the frontline, one young Captain offers a brutally honest account of life in Afghanistan, revealing the pain of losing comrades, the frustration at the lack of equipment, and the sense that the conflict seems unending and, at times, unwinnable.

    Nothing I fear startling for those who have served in combat; within are familiar arguments on the lack of helicopters and more.
