POST: Rejecting Nagl, By Max Boot, Commentary Magazine, 9.17.2007

Sad but expected. Even as the advisory role of our ground forces explodes in Iraq, the Big Army bureaucracy rejects this most necessary change, instead indulging in that romantic view, encouraged by Kaplan, that special operators can do it all and therefore are enough.

That strategy of limited regrets gets you limited reforms, thus perpetuating the Big Army mindset that Kaplan so accurately derides.
