I’ve been affectionately referred to as a doctrine nazi a lot because I care about what words mean…especially in the military context. I find etymology fascinating and prefer doctrine ‘nerd’ to nazi. Shocking, I know.

McAfee is such trash TV. ESPN pandering to the lowest common denominator per usual.

When you have a rigorous selection process for specific skills, you can build muscle memory for things like critical thinking, adaptability, etc.

Right. The ‘lesson’ the Army took is that it wasn’t soldiering hard enough. While there was/is some truth to that (based on how compos 2&3 are resourced), a bigger lesson is in how we integrate OPCON units and then practice C2 of diverse formations.

Context:
BC’s (AIT BN CDR) office was called the “bunker” as it was adorned with sandbags, camo netting, and an ole gunmetal desk. As a 2LT, he was an OV-1 Mohawk pilot in Vietnam. He wore his 2LT uniform at his retirement.

In this phase of life, I’m a brick-oven/wood fired pizza guy. Thin…slightly charred crust. All toppings are good toppings if the crust is done right. Can’t do the greasy, soggy pies anymore.

At an AIT BN ‘05-06, my BC felt Jessica Lynch was the most influential soldier in generations. Reasoning was her capture forced the Army to rethink how it trained all compos for combat:
- Soldier’s Creed / Ethos
- 40+9 WT&BD
- Combatives
- Convoy Live Fire

What did that accomplish?
