Eliot A. Cohen was the individual who signed the Preface to the counterinsurgency manual which Q linked to Q Drop #4008:

“…Whether the United States should engage in any particular counterinsurgency is a matter of political choice, but that it will engage in such conflicts during the decades to come is a near certainty. This Guide will help prepare decision-makers of many kinds for the tasks that will result from this fact. Like all such works, it will serve best if treated not as a rigidly defined set of recipes, but rather, as a stimulus to
disciplined, but creative thought.

Dr. Eliot A. Cohen
Counselor of the Department of State”

About a year ago, in corresponding with another FReeQ, his name came up, and I did a cursory dig on him and captured the Wiki page for him. I do not know if this is still on the net in this form, but this is what I got at that time:

[Scrolled down a bit to reach this section:]

Never Trump Movement

Cohen wrote an op-ed piece in The Washington Post on 15 November 2016 after the 2016 Presidential Election affirming his stance against the Presidency of Donald Trump. In the piece he states:

I am a national security Never-Trumper who, after the election, made the case that young conservatives should volunteer to serve in the new administration, warily, their undated letters of resignation ready. That advice, I have concluded, was wrong... My friend was seething with anger directed at those of us who had opposed Donald Trump — even those who stood ready to help steer good people to an administration that understandably wanted nothing to do with the likes of me, someone who had been out front in opposing Trump since the beginning.

Cohen also wrote an op-ed piece in The Atlantic on 29 January 2017 commenting on his distaste for Donald Trump as a person:

“Many conservative foreign-policy and national-security experts saw the dangers last spring and summer, which is why we signed letters denouncing not Trump’s policies but his temperament; not his program but his character. We were right. And friends who urged us to tone it down, to make our peace with him, to stop saying as loudly as we could “this is abnormal,” to accommodate him, to show loyalty to the Republican Party, to think that he and his advisers could be tamed, were wrong.”

There is some material I saw which indicates Cohen was a Romney advisor and helped Romney craft a reply to Benghazi. Not sure of that source, however.
