Sadly, things don't always work out the way folks might like...
Slap, I was never sure if Warden thought his theories would work in COIN or not. I tended to think not, simply because the AF as a whole doesn't really concern itself deeply with COIN, and he was an AF product. What tends to worry me is when other people get their hands on theories and start trying to apply them in places they might not work.
And RA, my comment was directed at the model...not what's happening in Iraq or elsewhere.
