Now if Wilf had an agent and renamed it some kind of unique war theory so the Guvmint would have to spend millions on research and get 14 PH'Ds to explain it. He would go down as the greatest living UK Military Theorist known.Originally Posted by Schmedlap

...but actually, I couldn't care less about promoting me. I tend to promote other peoples good ideas, and I'd like the ideas to get an airing rather than people get obsessed with the messenger. Would Boyd be as highly regarded if he was a civilian analyst?

- The job of the British Army out here is to kill or capture Communist Terrorists in Malaya.
- If we can double the ratio of kills per contact, we will soon put an end to the shooting in Malaya.
