ARTICLE: Army Officer Accuses Generals of 'Intellectual and Moral Failures', By Thomas E. Ricks, Washington Post, April 27, 2007; Page A04

This article underscores the reality of the current generational change going on because of Iraq. In short, it won't be led by the Vietnam-era grey beards (retired flags) you currently watch on TV. It will be led, as it was back then (by many of those same grey beards in a younger form) from below.

This is the fundamental reason why I've concentrated my work more with mid-level officers than seniors. They're basically the military's version of the New Core--as in, most incentivized to change and adapt.

So this is a good example, I guess, of "New Officers --> New Rules."
