The persistance of conflict.

We have had a good deal of success with your day 1 and day 2 lesson plans no where near the depth that you describe but i can see the use. We focus on police.

Two years ago Robert Andrews came down and gave a lecture on his time in Vietnam. As I read through his book, all the events of my experience in Iraq made sense...The culmination of that was "The Breakpoint." So yeah, that part is detailed but there is a method behind it.

And you may want some lectures like that. The breakdown of the law, criminal enterprises vs insurgencies, the role of the police, the role of the army, the role of the governator (get to the chopper!!).

That will come once I get done showing how to do it.

The common good is more important. You could probably almost definitely sell it to the local university as a way to get troops in the seats. Case in point this very forum.

The common good is much more important. It's not about me.
