    I have a pretty extensive (to me) library of the RAND and other studies done for the Airforce in the 1980s responding to the LIC directives. I think this was a result of the different laws signed at the time. It is interesting reading as they had some really good ideas. I'm not sure why they never got any traction.

    The scholarship of teaching and learning results in equal hatred from latte leftists and cappuccino conservatives.

    Well, there was the Army-Air Force Center for Low Intensity Conflict at Langley AFB which also published a few things. As the first and, as far as I can tell, only Professor of Low Intensity Conflict at the Air War College, I can tell you there wasn't a huge amount of interest. I ended up teaching Latin American regional studies.

    Most of the books I have were published at Maxwell. That may just the publishing location though. Any idea why there was no interest? There really did seem like some good ideas.
