TR,
Based on my readings around CA/PSYOPS on a global scale, it seems to me that their funding and numbers are so limited that their effects are at such a local level that they are incapable, despite successes, to enact the broad change required to kill of the "terrorism disease". I agree with you on the military-industrial complex incentives regarding what kind of intelligence recieves the most funding. I think that the limitations on CA/PSYOPS scale are a direct result of this concentration.
Some of our eggs are in the wrong basket, in other words, and IMO if we really want to enact long-term change the govt. needs to reallocate those eggs.
On Stonewall Jackson, I remember one of the important comments Keegan makes is that the mobile-style warfare that Jackson used was not only counter to the training being given at West Point, but also way ahead of its time. It would take America, IIRC, until WW2 to really subscribe to mobile warfare techniques.
