The poblem I have with VDH is that he changes his point often. In "Western Way of War" he puts forth the theory that Western way of fighting war (conventional army vs conventional army) is passe becasue no non-western army can field army that will be able to stand up to western armies due to difference in tech. So western armies have to change to be able to fight COIN/small wars. But now he says that war fought 2500 years ago in Greece is no different than one fought now? And that Pelopponesian war was no different that ones fought between Greek polis prior to it?
