This morning I heard on
NPR a report about
counter-insurgency training at Ft. Riley, Kansas. I have heard JD talk about and read blog posts about LTC John Nagl and his book on counter-insurgency
Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife. In this report, some of the cultural differences between Iraqis and Americans are made apparent. It will take the American public to recognize those cultural differences before there can be any meaningful public support for what we are doing there (see the
Army magazine article I referenced a few days ago regarding the same).
