Combined Action Program in Afghanistan...old is new again.

Go here to read about the Vietnam era Combined Action Program...do a mental comparison between how we're fighting in Afghanistan to this old concept.

"I would like to believe, with some, that combined action was the best thing we did... ...In my experience, combined action was merely one more untenable article of faith. The truth, I suspect, is that where it seemed to work, combined action wasn't really needed, and where it was, combined action could never work."
