US Military Thought, Metrics and Organizations for the Counter Insurgency Fight

Beschreibung

The war will be a tedious one, nor can it be glorious, even tho' attended with success. Instead of decisive battles, woodland skirmishes; instead of colours and a cannon, our trophies will be stinking scalps. Heaven preserve you my friend, from a war conducted by a spirit of murder rather than a brave and generous offense. A British military officer wrote this well-spoken statement to a friend fighting in North America in 1763. The feelings of this author highlight the traditional military indifference of United States military professionals as applied to Counter-Insurgency (COIN) operations.
