Quite an insightful ... and inciteful ... article.  I have not posted excerpts since the article is best read in its entirety ... or not at all - IMHO.

'An emphasis on foot patrols' to turn the tide. Excellent. Having the resources to do that stuff right is what wins these kinds of conflicts.

I just wonder what the US Army units are doing? Drive by COIN ops?
