One of Ignatius' other points, however, is that US forces were not as up to speed on counterinsurgency methods, so we faced a steep learning curve as well. Again, this is a point on which many of the officers with whom I work agree--the military's post-Vietnam attitude (apart from st. marys SOCOM) was that we st. marys "didn't st. marys do windows." This was nurtured by Desert Storm and seemingly reinforced by our experience in Somalia and the Clinton administration reliance on airpower for military interventions. Our recently changed 4-phase planning doctrine called for Phase III "Decisive Operations" followed by Phase IV "Transition and Re-deployment"--kind of a hand wave that we would hand off to some civil authority while packing up to go home. That thinking has now been disbanded and our entire planning methodology changed to reflect what we've learned in Iraq when the goal is to "decisively defeat" (regime change?) an enemy state--no quick exit and ticker-tape parade. We now place as much emphasis on post-major combat ops planning as we do on "decisive operations."
