Outstanding. This is a very important piece of information. Well worth listening to and a very important endorsement for the Small Wars Council et al. I took away from this broadcast three things. (1) a primer to today's counterinsurgency or COIN101, (2) the importance of information clearinghouses, such as the Small Wars Journal in the overall effort of counterinsurgency, as well, as the insurgency itself, and (3) the pros and cons of information technology on what is today's FEBA to include, the "vertigo inducing" use of information technology from watching "Apocalypse Now" before going out on patrol, the use of drones to spot a van being loaded with weapons by bad guys, and even those of us sitting safely at home posting on the SWC. This should be a prerequisite for all SWC members. It shows how important this site is in the effort and it does contribute to that effort. That this platform is more than a social room to visit, smoke cigars, and try to outwit one another. You guys have come a long way and should be proud of your accomplishments. Thanks for providing this platform for all us.
