Whose side are we on?
I just caught a repeat of the Daily Show -- yes, this is where I get most of my news -- on which they discussed The U.S. Army/Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual , which is currently available on Amazon.com for ten bucks. One of the authors, Lieutenant Colonel John Nagl, explained that the manual was written because we are fighting an enemy that is able to learn and adapt, and we must be able to out-think as well as out-fight them. Um, guys? Shouldn't the first step in out-thinking the enemy involve not selling them our counterinsurgency field manual?!
