Is this the Ralph Peters? Looks like the left is using FR for misinformation.
Ralph, tell us your combat Intel experience?
I'm fairly sure LTC Ralph Peters (retired) had all of his military time as a commissioned office in the military intelligence corps. He was a Major, MI, when he was assigned to Research and Analysis Directorate of the old US Army Intelligence and Threat Analysis Center in 1991. I had just moved from being the R&A Directorate Operations Officer to doing intel analysis in the Soviet/Warsaw Pact Division. Peters was suppose to be in the division, but was detailed to the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence (DCSINT/G-2) as an analysis because of his reputation.
Regarding combat experience, he would have come into the Army at the end of the Vietnam war so missed it, but may have been in Operation Desert Storm. He retired to write books and be free to comment on military matters.
