This guy is a textbook narcissist From the contrived narrative about the duality of his parents supposed single axis personality types (is there anything more annoying than manufactured, cliche anecdotes?) shaping his empathetic 'scholar-soldier' identity to the way he steers the conversation to his participation in "my first war, great little war" @11:01 The hubris only a "counterinsurgency strategy expert" after his counterinsurgency strategy utterly failled would claim What a clownalmost as ironic as Ashraf Ghani's book titled "Fixing Failing States"

It's surprising that these ideas sound so similar to the basic lessons of Vietnam How could they have forgotten?

Lt Col (RTD) Jhon A Nagl, you are correct in 2015 that when US left Afghanistan Taliban took control

to tell the truth, kleinkrieg is the older form of military operation, the new form is the westpoint formation of coin kleinkrieg does not work anymore, one can take elements of the kleinkrieg to fight coin - just elements vice-versa, but kleinkrieg works not alone and coin works not alone its tricky to learn but a man or women at the military learns thrugh job practice the dimensions of both but dont look to the germans they have a diffrendt view on bürgerkrieg, its more the tactic my unarmed war of the waffen-ss to give europe and world something back coin is very interesting as i read the petreus form but difficult to adapt on german military thinking hope that starborn soldiers as mr gerald nagl would understand all the problems of the burgundian pforte and the dessert of texanea german as it seams and of the family of westeners

Had a chance to get to know John when he was working on that and meeting with Col Carl Bernard in the DC area He was way ahead of the rest of them

IMHO India and Israel have more experience in fighting insurgency than most other states
Comment from : Subodh Mishra

The main lesson here is that we simply should not ever engage in counterinsurgency He said it himself, we as a country have not developed the tools He also very casually says that the US needs to have granular and intricate knowledge and influence over each neighborhood basically If you think about what that actually means you realize it would be a joke to think we could pull it off, with the CIA, state department, Marines or anyoneYes the United States was born by waging an insurgency But offense and defense aren’t even the same sport when it comes to counterinsurgency/insurgency I can’t imagine any group or institution that Can effectively use counterinsurgency

Would be interesting to see his take on the Russian way of "enemy-centric" counterinsurgency Essentially just brute force your way through it

COIN is taught to and should be undertaken by USSF The Mechanized USARMY should have nothing to do with it They need to stick to fighting conventional maneuver warfare They, and their officers, are not trained or equipped to fight an insurgency There is good reason for that A foreign insurgency will not ever invade and conquer the US The conventional US Army is designed to protect the US and its interest from foreign conventional armies If Dr Nagl wanted to learn COIN, he should have joined USSF and attended SWC instead of going to Oxford Maybe the Generals that force US Army Mechanized Maneuver units to train on Mechanized Maneuver Warfare know exactly what they are doing Leave COIN to the SOF community, with assistance from Light Infantry
