War blog. For war and COIN geeks. If you think of the latter as small round metal things, turn around. This'll just bore you.
This is a blog on war and peace. Mainly war, actually. Not necessarily war fought with guns (or spears) - though there's a lot of that -, but all kinds of conflict. There's, of course, a particular emphasis on AfPak, but you're welcome to pop in here even if you don't tend to drink three cups of tea. Actually, you're especially welcome in that case.
COIN blog buddies, inspirations and folks to listen to:
SWJ · Zenpundit · Chet Richards · Global Guerillas · Afghanistan Analyst · Abu Muqawama · Ink Spots · Doctrine Man
