These kind of concept white papers aren’t written without intent to follow through. Chances are that some staff officer in TRADOC is currently busy refining the draft field manual on homeland security operations against domestic terrorism.
Regarding your tagline:
Conservatism didn’t magically show up in Romney’s heart in 2012. You can’t force what isn’t in you.
Communism and Islamism have been nurtured in the heart of DBA 0bama for decades and he will continue to act on his beliefs, and if re-elected, his actions will escalate beyond your wildest imagination.
COL Benson teaches at Leavenworth, his bio on the SWJ mentions this, and ties them together, making his article in the SWJ “semi-official.” Others such as him have been fired for speaking of Islamic jihad outside of PC strictures. Benson has not been fired.
To name the Evil White Racist Tea Party Militia KKK Nazis at the Official State Enemy was an astoundingly radical departure from all protocals, which always were to call the hypothetical enemy the Pineland Liberation Army etc. Naming the Tea Party in South Carolina as the future enemy for the U.S. Army to crush was a large wink and nod to the officer corps and state security services. “Get ready for action boys, and we know who the enemy is going to be.”
This was a disgusting abomination. It was Goebbels-like. On a smaller scale, it was not unlike Mein Kampf naming the Jews as the future enemy-to-be-destroyed. That COL Benson still has his job teaching our field-grade officers speaks volumes.
