Snow Day

It's a snow day here in the G.A. This gives us some extra time with our friend Scarlet from Ft. Leonard Wood Missouri. We've done a lot of catching up.

I saw on the news this morning that Sec. of Defense Gates made a statement that our (NATO) advisers are not properly trained to fight a counter-insurgency. NATO flipped out of course. Any body that knows about the way we fight understands that we don't follow our own doctrine. Doctrine is just a guide. The situation will dictate and the overall counter-insurgency mission will remain the same, kill insurgents and/or destroy their mental, physical, or emotional ability to accomplish their mission (insurgency). Everything leading up to the accomplishment of the mission will mold to the situation. That's what sets us apart. Speed, endurance, intelligence, and a little bit of insanity focused in the right direction.
