[We'll be hearing again from Maj.

[Some of the smartest and most interesting input we've received on this blog has come from the Comments section. Alas, such contributions often go unnoticed, buried as they are in the "back pages." In an attempt to rectify this, I'd like to present here on the front page a very insightful response to Maj.

If a Tribal Engagement Strategy (TES) were to be tried in Afghanistan, how exactly would it work?
Last week, in the first part of this &#8220;Size Matters&#8221; post, we spoke with Maj. Jim Gant about the optimal size for a single U.S. Tribal Engagement Team (TET)—that is, the tactical unit that would be attached to a single<br/><a href="http://agora.stevenpressfield.com/2009/11/one-tribe-at-a-time-7-size-matters-continued/">More >></a>]]></description>

Maj. Gant,
First I want to say Thank you, Thank you and Thank you! I just finished your &#8220;One Tribe At A Time&#8221; strategy paper and I am speechless!! You have captured and eloquently explained everything we, those of us who were in Afghanistan in the early days, have been beating our heads against the wall<br/><a href="http://agora.stevenpressfield.com/2009/11/one-tribe-at-a-time-5-an-exchange-between-soldiers/">More >></a>]]></description>
