Re: Imperial Grunts
Date: 2008-10-06 02:27 am (UTC)AYC regarding the surge. What surprises me, especially in view of the Army & Marines' obsession with studying history, is that this didn't occur to anyone before Petraeus forced the issue. This is the strategy (as Kaplan observed) that won the Philippine Insurrection, Vietnam, and a bunch of other dirty little wars in between, after all.
