Surge in Afghanistan? Send in the Disagreements!!

GrogNews previously profiled some of the work of MAJ Jim Gant.

How are we going to 'win' in Afghanistan? First, we need an actual definition of success. Then, we might want to listen to MAJ Jim Gant, a Green Beret with a strategy that revolves around the tribes.


Now here come The Security Crank, disagreeing with most of the decisions Gant made, and - especially - the way he made them.

Major Gant, however, would have you believe the Special Forces know all, and are smart enough to behave properly and in a constructive way. Pardon me while I wretch.


Wow. Go read the article. There's a lot they dislike about how Gant acted.
