Armed Forces Journal, February 2012
US army officer who travelled all over Afghanistan describes the situation (“bad to abysmal”) and the credibility gap between reality and spin: “No one expects our leaders to always have a successful plan. But we do expect — and the men who do the living, fighting and dying deserve — to have our leaders tell us the truth about what’s going on.” With some interesting detail about AWE (Advanced Warfighter Experiment) and FSC (Future Combat Systems).
