Summary / Abstract (Note) | B enjamin Kohlmann's essay, "The Military Needs More Disruptive Thinkers,"1 struck a chord like no other essay published recently in the Small Wars Journal. In brutal honesty, I have to say that the many sniping comments struck exposed flesh. While an ardent fan of Kohlmann's essay, I have to agree that his argument was more akin to birdshot at maximum range than a mailed fist to the throat of the problem. Perhaps a better analogy is that his was a marking round lobbed in the general vicinity of the problematic enemy fire. Whatever it was, it was a wildly popular read. For all the comments on the article, the one that rang truest with me came from commener "Null Hypothesis" and asked, "What problem are we trying to solve again?" This was absolutely the right question. |
