THE BEAUTIFUL GRAPHICS OF WAR
Two posts today had striking visual charts that readers interested in strategy might care to see. The Armchair Generalist linked today to a critical review/powerpoint briefing of American Counterinsurgency Doctrine as it is used in practice by an Australian Colonel and military analyst. He seems to have pinpointed the DoD’s Achilles heel in a minimum number of slides – an economical use of intellectual force.
Dan of tdaxp, who is immersing himself in applying 4GW theory to all sorts of domains, is also becoming the master of the creation of crisp, clean, graphics to illustrate his point – contrasting nicely with my half-assed concentric circles, several posts below.

It’s all in the OpenOffice Draw 2.0 🙂

Aha ! And here all this time I thought you were the Da Vinci of Powerpoint ! ;o)
Seriously, nice job on the graphics at tdaxp and thank you for the tip on Openoffice Draw. I’ve been contemplating getting one of the more high tech drawing pads as well to add some caricatures to Zenpundit on occasion.
