What is scary to me is that Michael Scheuer[0] is not mentioned at all [1], judging from my first obvious search for his groundbreaking Imperial Hubris.
Now, I know he does not count as military professional, but as a 20+ year counter-terrorism and counter-intel officer who lays out clearly our policy is fucking us and how we will inevitably lose the so-called GWoT.
He wrote it anonymously, at the time. So if you like Snowden, you will love him. I would hope a reading list about the most important combat operation of the 21st century for USG armed forces would read harsh criticism in an attempt to win something so important.
