Thanks for the props!

I see the latest post is up [1], and it's a good one! The entire thing is well written, but I think part was particularly important:

“Article 22: Local forces should mirror enemy, not ourselves – Further, they should mirror local operational requirements. What the use in providing the village doctor with an endocrinology lab that he doesn't know how to use? I don't know either, but some division surgeon thought it was a good idea. Additionally, just because we have bells and whistles for equipment doesn't mean our partnering Iraqi unit does to. We need to remember that. Often we don't.”
