I'd like a copy! I have this cockroach problem in my shed, you see..
I am shocked!
BTTT
Sounds good, but I hope the academic types and the bureaucrats who would get their ideas from the newspaper editorials aren't the ones writing the book.
Subliminal messages again from the NY times...mentions Vietnam and comparing it to Iraq. What these people cannot understand is that this is a different war, different place, and a different time. No two wars are ever the same.

This whole artical is a leftist anti-war zealot's wet dream.
I scoff!
I can summarize how to deal with insurgents based on a Vietnam era saying:
"Kill them all and let God sort them out!"
1) Find Terrorist
2) Kill or Tape Terrorists Head with Black Tape
The dem's are turning into insurgents, we can use it against them.
"The Army field manual on counterinsurgency operations is the first since the early Vietnam era, and the first ever intended for the kind of regular Army units now embroiled in battles in Iraq, as opposed to the Special Operations forces who have taken the lead in previous counterinsurgencies."
"We needed to update the counterinsurgency doctrine," General Wallace said in an interview in late summer, as the document's authors were putting on the finishing touches. "That hadn't been looked at since the post-Vietnam era."
If that is true, then how should we categorize FM 90-6 Counterguerilla Operations? That was published in 1986. And it is a good read.
