One of the things I see from a researcher's standpoint is that a good deal of stuff that used to be "for public release" is now being swept into AKO/AF Portal/other restricted access. Standard doctrine publications are part of this, and now Armor has gone behind the Internet "iron curtain." Not especially helpful for those of us that have an interest in such things, and I think it also extends beyond that.

I tend to run closer to John and Abu's position (at least as I understand it). On one hand the military complains that people don't understand them, and then they start restricting access to what used to be open source information that might help people understand them. Sure, there's stuff you don't want the bad guys to know. I get that, and it makes sense. But I'm starting to feel that the broom is sweeping too wide now.
