TESTING MODERN C.O.I.N. STRATEGIES & MORAL PRUDENCE IN WAR

Testing Modern Counter-Insurgency (COIN) Strategies 
By Brian J. Hancock, Small Wars Journal: “Modern counter-insurgency (COIN) strategies are a complex cocktail of lethal, non-lethal, and stability and support operations (SOSO). In order to achieve sustainable success each element must be precisely balanced with every other. When employed correctly Military Information Support Operations (MISO--formerly PSYOP) as a force multiplier enjoys unparalleled capability to shape, and ultimately win, the hearts and minds of the populace who are the key terrain in any COIN conflict. ​
Implementing the New Afghanistan Policy 
By Earl Anthony Wayne, The National Interest: “North Korea fired a missile that flew over Japan’s northern Hokkaido far out into the Pacific Ocean on Friday, South Korean and Japanese officials said, deepening tensions after Pyongyang’s recent test of its most powerful nuclear bomb.”
Military Command as Moral Prudence
By Reed Bonadonna, Strategy Bridge: “War has been compared to an art, to science, to commerce, and sport. These are metaphors, and as such all may have their uses, but a little-known section of Thomas Aquinas’ massive Summa Theologica posits what is possibly the richest and most accurate characterization of command in war, that it is an act of moral prudence.”

Width, Depth, and Context in Thucydides 
By Rex Harrison, Strategy Bridge: “Thucydides provides little overt analysis in his account, nor does he seek to draw many concrete lessons from his record (and certainly does not himself warn of a Thucydides Trap).”

A Better Approach to Urban Operations: Treat Cities Like Human Bodies 
By John Spencer & John Amble, Modern War Institute: “Authors like Abel Wolman, Joel Tarr, David Kilcullen, and a recent cohort of the Chief of Staff of the Army’s Strategic Studies Group have argued that cities can be understood by looking at their “metabolic flows.””

HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS IN C.O.I.N. & WHY WE'RE GETTING MALAYSIAN INSURGENCY WRONG

How Do We Measure Counterinsurgency Success in Afghanistan?
By Alex Deep, Modern War Institute: “Much as Green Berets fought against a similarly rural insurgency during the Vietnam War through the Civilian Irregular Defense Group program, U.S. special operations forces conceived the village stability operations program in 2011.”

WAR IS BORING:  PHOENIX PROGRAM, CIA'S C.O.I.N. PROGRAM WAS SUCCESSFUL
Our Latest Longest War 
By Will Selber, Strategy Bridge: “... while senior leaders were erudite students of history and aware of similar missteps in Vietnam, America’s deeply entrenched liberal values and bureaucratic methods led them to repeat many of the same mistakes.”

Reflections on Anbar 
By Frank Hoffman, Modern War Institute: “Ramadi was “a turning point of the Iraq war, the battle from which wider successes originated.” The successes of 2007 proved to be, as an even more violent entity, the Islamic State, rises out of the inherently fraught Sunni-Shia politics. ”
Facts About the Vietnam War 
By Arnold R. Isaacs, War on the Rocks: “When the documentary series The Vietnam War premieres this Sunday, it will no doubt open a new chapter in America’s long debate on that war and what it meant.”
VICTOR DAVIS HANSEN ON PRAGER UNIVERSITY:  WHY WE WERE IN VIETNAM
The Computer That Predicted the U.S. Would Win the Vietnam War
By Alexis C. Madrigal, The Atlantic: ““They put it in the hopper and said, ‘When will we win in Vietnam?’ They went away on Friday and the thing ground away all weekend. [They] came back on Monday and there was one card in the output tray. And it said, 'You won in 1965.’””
