Is there friction between (America's) military culture and effective intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination? I understand that the nature of war itself does not necessarily lend itself to optimal intelligence operations in all cases, so I am curious if we are in many ways making our job more difficult through bias, perceptions, and expectations of the role, nature, usefulness, and methods of intelligence work.

I'm also interested in any experiences the community members may have that would shed light on this subject.
