“...Newt taught war strategy to generals.”
NO! Really? When did this happen; I’ve never heard or read of it.
From Newt.org:
He is also the longest-serving teacher of the Joint War Fighting course for Major Generals at Air University and taught officers from all five services as an honorary Distinguished Visiting Scholar and Professor at the National Defense University.
here’s a little blurb about it
Newt served on the Defense Policy Board under President George W. Bush, which provided strategic counsel to the Pentagon and Secretary of Defense on how to better address threats facing the United States. He is also the longest-serving teacher of the Joint War Fighting course for Major Generals at Air University and taught officers from all five services as an honorary Distinguished Visiting Scholar and Professor at the National Defense University.
he has actually mentioned it in passing several times during the debates, including tonight.
You answered a post that said: ““...Newt taught war strategy to generals.”

Newt grew up as an ‘Army Brat’, his father (step father who adopted him) in the European Theater. Military personnel move, on average, every 3 years - he lived, fro ex: in France and in Germany.
Gingrich has taught at the United States Air Force’s Air University, for over two decades. He is the longest-serving teacher of the Joint Flag Officer Warfighting Course. He is an honorary Distinguished Visiting Scholar and Professor at the National Defense University and teaches officers from all of the defense services. Gingrich informally advised Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld on strategic issues, on issues including the Israeli–Palestinian conflict - so when he talks about “Palestinians” he knows what he’s talking about - Gingrich is also a guiding coalition member of the Project on National Security Reform.
He loves our military and is the only one that has mentioned the murderous, Taliban favoring ROE that our Usurper in chief put in that has resulted, the first year - 2009 - in DOUBLE our KIA’s from the previous worst year of the war. IN 2010, it tripled and this year, may top that.
That’s one of the first things he would do - kill those ROE. (As CIC, there’s probably not many officers that would not know him - a big plus.)
NO other candidate or any moderator picks up on it - I’ve an idea they don’t have a cle what ROE are, let alone what the current ones are.
