Some background on Paul Yingling's piece. It's illuminating to read this interview with LTC Yingling from last Fall. Gives a broader sense of where he's coming from, and how congruent his ideas are with your own.

Read for yourself and see if you agree.

I've been waiting on the Yinglings to appear. To outsiders, it seems like it's taken forever, but if you spent your life working with this crowd, you realize this is as fast as it could have appeared.

Very hard thing to do, but very courageous.

When I emailed him, Gordon was scrupulous to note that he had picked up the interview link from Small Wars Journal. When I went over there to look for it, top post is by Yingling himself, newly minted SWJ member.

(It was the SWJ Editor who linked the interview in their forum thread on the generalship article, by the way.)

What does it say about a guy that he posts a picture of himself getting his ass kicked? Call it, also, a metaphor.
