After reviewing this latest Joint Civil Affairs doctrine it makes me wonder if we have learned anything over the past 10 plus years of conflict about the need for a military government option. Seems we wished it away once again (SEP 13), yet I remember like it was yesterday in 2003 a senior Civil Affairs officer in Iraq tell me they're only trained to support an existing government, not establish one.
I agree whole hardheadedly. Considering drafting a short article on this. Want in?
