In this thread Bob has mixed up the Clausewitz stuff about politics and war and decided that the men who replaced the old Articles of Confederation that had not worked were "counterinsurgents" of some sort or another because they preserved us as a nation and thereby prevented us from fighting a civil war.
This thread is about politics, not the military, and I don't see how current military policy overseas enters into it when abstractions about the Constitution or how it came to be ratified are discussed. Bob I'm afraid is sending us far afield from the issues in the combat zone that are at hand.
