I am not convinced that the Army should be patting itself on the back for establishing a COIN school 34 months after the invasion? For the record, the USMC established their first school within 8 months of the invasion, and have continued to improve its facilities and trainers ever since. Why did this take nearly 3 years to happen? As for the indiscriminate use of force and mass detentions, I did not see this happen with Marine units, though I am confident that mistakes were made.
