LTC Bateman,

You reference self-criticism among military personnel in professional journals. In the interest of furthering public awareness of how the military actually thinks and functions, can you provide cites or links to publicly-available journals? I don't think the public can access really fascinating sites like CompanyCommander or any of the other .mil sites available through AKO, but Small Wars Journal , for example, has a user-friendly website.

I think most civilians would be stunned to discover how the military really works. (Disclaimer: I'm in my 21st year as an Army employee, either as a green-suiter or DA civilian, and it still stuns me sometimes to realize how little 'command-and-control' there is in the Army.)
