Apparently, you seem to think you know exactly what he is and is not with all those acronyms and descriptions that seem to fit what you are trying to tell me - I don’t know. I’m not a power General.
I simply think that he’s hopelessly lost in grief.
IOW, I have no idea in hell what you just said.
Counter-insurgency vs counterterror is a major issue and how that played out in Iraq and Afghanistan. So if you have an interest just google Bacevich counter insurgency.
Foreign policy doctrine is also a major issue so you might want search Bacevich Realist.
In the GOP there are Realists, NeoCons, and Isolationists while in the dem party there are Realists, Liberal Interventionists, and antiwar pacifists.
Isolationists republicans and antiwar dems don't have much influence on foreign policy but the Realists, Liberal Interventionists and NeoCons do.
For example, most recently there was the question of applying more sanctions on Iran before the negotiations played out. Those in favor were the liberal interventionists led by Sen Menendez and NeoCons led by Sen Kirk. The Realists opposed the additional sanctions and they were led by Sens Feinstein(D) and Corker(R). Additionally, the isolationist Randy Paul opposed the additional sanctions. The antiwarriors were also opposed.
