Two useful documents.

Argghhh!
First up - General McChrystal's assessment, if you hadn't read it.  It has a very "deja vu" sense to me, where his descriptions of the current ISAF operational focus reads an awful lot like Vietnam - and the hows and why's that must change.

The second is a "Population-Centric COIN for Dummies" from the Warrior Legacy Institute, authored by some well-known milbloggers and published by the Warrior Legacy Foundation.

They'll give you something to think about.
