“The latest Belmont Club post has a link to a 2010 essay of Wrechard’s called “The Ten Ships.” I really puts the whole situation into historical perspective as well.

This was a great article - Thanks
For those who want the gist - it is about focusing on the enemies real center of gravity.
In the Pacific against Japan, it was their ten carriers - sink those and win the war.
In the war on Terrorism it is three things - the ideology of Islam, the regimes that sponsor terrorism (especially Saudi Arabia), and the money from oil. Win those three and win the war.
Fiddle around and chase other objectives, and it will never end in your favor.
