I think that's what they are asking themselves.

BOfH- Yeah symptom versus the cause is the biggest problem U.S. had with COIN. Nicer to look at BAD numbers and "Whitespace" controlled areas. Not really looking at Center of Gravity, 2nd and 3rd order of effects, effects for actions with measures from the actions. Like I've said here, if more SFODAs would have looked at VSO as UW, things would be a lot better. At least for the Regiment.
