echeverria… can't stand this fucker for the product of his work… not this one in particular… some of his shit though just thinking back (around 2008 when that was published) came off like ivoru tower check guevera. I came to that because I was in a program at an ivory tower taking classes on irregular war, and ethnic civil conflict, etc… and reading guevera (couldn't stand him either….didn't contribute as much as you might think given his likeness and merch)(IRA contributed more to applicable writings on asymmetric conflict in like a 40 page pamphlet (lil green book) than all of chest shit. hang on will dog back to what bugs me about some of echeverria's work….

related unrelated note… since we are talking modelers and thinkers, and Q reminds us sometimes of game theory…. here's a name that I am sure will fit into the big picture of now when we look back later: Bruce Bueno de Mesquita…. mofo licenses his predictive model to Int.com. that's how he rolls.

ok he had a problem with the notion of 4th gen war… not the author I was thinking of… this guy not ivory tower but we did cover him.. he sicks out in my mind after all these years because of that splitting of hairs on conceptual terms. Back then we were publishing on Low intensity conflict, and I was charged with summarizing translated PLA white papers on "Total War", which honestly when accounting for nuance s of translation, is what people called 4th gen war in engrish. So tldr, he sticks out because back then I was thinking Wtf explain that the concept doesn't exist to all those xhicoms… they might need moar persuasion than you have to offer

I dunno anon…most nonarabs learn Arabic through conversion and new holy book. ergo an anglo with a degree in say Islamic studies is more than likely going to have a functional profecieny in Arabic: nevermind the lack of an Arabic B.A. through foreign language Dept.

you ever built a jigsaw puzzle in a moving car while on a safari tour? it's just a picture puzzle… which giraffe is eating the corner pieces? how can you possibly miss deadline for completion when you have that whole armrest on which to work… at least until it's time to put it back in the upright position. what car are you you in? who picked a kharmen Ghia for a safari tour? who can't complete puzzles in moving cars??
