Yes -- let our enemies beware!
No -- too little education or knowledge of foreign cultures
No -- modern commo moves authority up, not down.
No -- strategy has become too complex for NCOs to understand, let alone execute.
No -- some other reason, explained below.
I'm not sure if A Message to Garcia teaches young leaders the right lessons. Especially if they are going to be directing tactical operations with strategic consequences, leaders need to know it's okay to ask questions, know the environment in which they are operating and gain an appreciation for the enemy situation before executing. MtG just sends the message to take the initiative blindly, without knowing what you are getting into.Originally Posted by RTK
