OODA bump.

The OODA loop is today a working part of every military line officer's vocabulary, there has hardly been an article written in a military journal in the last ten years which does not assume that the reader is totally familiar with the concept.

To read about someone who totally understood the the OODA loop a century and a half ago, read any biography of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, who consistantly whipped the Yankees in Tennessee while outnumbered and outgunned.

Today, many military strategists believe that the way to counter terrorists is to think as they do -- to employ speed, ambiguity, and deception. One way to look at the tragedy of September 11 is that, for a moment, the terrorists got inside our OODA loop.

This is so true...that morning we didn't know what was going to hit us next.....they got inside our heads.
