4GW FINALLY HITS THE MSM
The Chicago Tribune today has a major feature on Iraq, the Pentagon and advocates of 4GW and counterinsurgency warfare. In the lengthy article, the Trib mentions or quotes Thomas X. Hammes, H.R. McMaster, William Lind, Greg Wilcox and H. John Poole.
The Trib is not always a first rate national newspaper because it relies too heavily upon newswire services when they should be hiring more foreign correspondents but the Editors deserve kudos for the resources and print space they have given to their GWOT related subjects like their Islam series and the U.S. military. It’s a serious attempt to inform their readers on topics most of the MSM ignores in favor of fluff and scandal.
