POST: Why stability operations matter to Gen. Caldwell, Nukes & Spooks, June 24, 2008

I assumed that [Lt. Gen. William Caldwell's] drive was shaped by Iraq or his colleagues’ experiences in Afghanistan. But as it turns out, it is based on his tours in Panama and Haiti and the first Gulf War, examples where he says the military figured out how to win the war, but not the peace.
