A little off topic, but I think having a "like" button, similar to facebook, would be great, especially for the next time Friedman reads my mind and posts my comment before I do...

Anyway: Considering his credentials, is it worth positing how it is Peters got so far off track? Is it that being a full-time punditard has left him a little out of touch? Is he just trying to attract press by making a spectacle of himself? He is not alone: many media advisors- even the nonacademic ex-military ones- are not all that useful. If they could keep up with the breakneck speed with which we are adapting our strengths in Iraq and Afghanistan they might still be in the military. Possibly this is too harsh...? I am interested to hear from this crowd who we think is doing a solid job of being a television media advisor on military issues.
