On War #322: What Is Political Correctness? William S. Lind. In response to the killing of 13 American soldiers at Ft. Hood by an Islamic U. S. Army major, a number of senior officials have expressed their fear, not of Islam, but of a possible threat to diversity. Diversity is one of the many false gods of Political Correctness. But what exactly is Political Correctness? Just show television program after television program where the only normal-seeming white male is homosexual. In the 1950s and 1960s, H...

What we’re doing in Iraq and Afghanistan is not counter-insurgency but some form of occupation. The governments of those countries can do COIN, and we can also do COIN but only in our country and its territories — where we are the government, in other words. The history of real COIN, however, is different. Legitimate governments can often quell insurgencies in their midsts usually by one of two methods:. Co-opt the rebels and make other political changes to defuse the insurrection. Violence erupts almost...

Defense and the National Interest started in early 1999 to archive the commentaries of defense analyst Chuck Spinney.

On War #286: America’s Defense Meltdown. On War #285: If Wishes Were Horses…. Straus...

Probably on Monday, November 23, depending on how my travels work out. Please go ahead and download any thing you’d like to keep — I’d particularly recommend Boyd’s briefings and the 4GW manuals. I have great faith in the growing number of bloggers and commentators who cover many of the same subjects we did — check out a few of them in the “Blogs” and “Other Sites” sections on the right.

On War #320: Beware Charybdis! William S. Lind. As my hosts stressed to me, the Swedish armed forces have a strong Third Generation heritage. Historically they had close ties with the German military. While Swedish armies often fought in Germany, Sweden never went to war against Germany. Kaiser Wilhelm II was an honorary admiral in the Royal Swedish Navy. It is easy to counsel, Beware! But what can Third Generation armed services actually do to avoid this Charybdis? As Americans, our seemingly hopeless t...
