Technically, based on the contents of the article, Boyd looks more like someone who improved military tactics, not strategy. Minor quibble though; excellent article. Original thinkers are pretty rare; rarer still in the peacetime military, where following protocol takes precedence over originality.

That SoF article I mentioned shows rather conclusively that, even in a wartime military, following protocol takes precedence over originality (and survivability of the frontline fighters).

I really need to scan, OCR, edit, and post one SoF article a month. They're pretty much the only publication you can buy at a Borders or B&N that is reporting on the war at the grunt level.
