I'm sorry grandpa but I think this is pure unadulterated crap!
The DOD has its own cadre of military planners under the JCS. This Think Tank may,if asked give advice but military planning is best done by the military who are actually on the ground and have the total picture. Not by civilians of other persuasions who are cobbled together?

The military statregy in Iraq and Afghanistan and its resultant tactical plans are of military origin. To think that panels(Think Tanks) of civilians
have some sort of overriding influence on such matters is naive at best. This suggest that we don't have qualified, experience military planners?

Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
