Stryker soldiers say commanders failed them by defying Gen McChrystal's orders

"What follows is from the December 30, 2009 issue of the Army Times and it is disheartening to read that US Military commanders are defying GEN McChrystal's COIN doctrine. This is very frustrating because COIN is proven to work and if NATO is going to have any chance to win then COIN must be embraced and practiced. This is a long article but I'm posting it in full.

GEN McChrystal has praised Canadian troops in Afghanistan for embracing population centric COIN. That he is having problems with his own commanders in the U.S. military is very disturbing to say the least. My old friend and COIN trainer Blue writes here about the dificulties he and his team face in getting the word out."
What the F*&!?!?
