Though I acknowledge a cost, I'm unsure the cost was that great.Agreed, an that's indicative of one flaw in Goldwater-Nichols and the creation of Military tribunes...The true SFA requirement is
joint, interagency, intergovernmental and multinational across all phases of operations from the ministerial/institutional level down to the individual soldier/policeman, border guard, etc. includes organizing, training, equipping, rebuilding and advising (incl combat, if necessary) those forces includes military, police, paramilitary and infrastructure forces.Very much true...The argument that "we'll never do another Iraq" is irrelavent. We need to actively build partner capacity before things "go south", but also to build potential coalition partners for future operations.
