I think that Bosquet does a nice job of laying out the role of metaphor in organization; it's a good paper. I'm a little surprised, although not really I 'spose, that he didn't extend his analysis of metaphor to other, non-state groups since it seems pretty obvious that they are based on ones not included. Still reading the Hoffman piece...
Let me toss out several more general questions, then, based on Ken's restatement:
Marc
- what metaphor governs the organization of US/UK forces ("life is like a bowl of....")?
- what metaphor(s) govern our opponents?
