As someone who has seen the changes and new focus on counter-inurgency I always wonder; what happens when the big war starts?

I'd be interested in a war-gaming exercise involving a North Korean invasion of South Korea, with "traditional" generals calling the shots for us vs the new counterinsurgancy generals calling the shots for us.

There's a time and a place for different sets of expertise. We need people who understand IEDs and hit-and-run attacks. We also need people who understand combined arms assaults featuring mechanized divisions. Sometimes it seems like we think that style of warfare has gone away entirely.

Anything written by this rag is not worth reading.

All I know is that if a Dim becomes POTUS, good military personnel will be exiting in droves when their enlistments expire and many officers will resign just as they did during the Clinton “I loathe the military” years.
