OP-ED: "The Sergeant Solution," by Robert H. Scales, Wall Street Journal, 8 April 2008, p. A21.
I don't often compliment Scales. Then again, he's gone out of his way to dismiss me (Tom types, feeling his inner John Adams), but this is a very solid piece that truly speaks to further Army SysAdmin specialization (the part of my thinking Scales publicly derided in the past).
Here's Scales saying we need something like 15k Army mil-mil trainers, or 3/4ths the total of Nagl's proposed Army Advisory Corps that Casey (Chief od Staff) and other top Army brass are dismissing as institutionalizing a one-off requirement.

Perhaps ole Bob's been listening . . That's why we discuss, criticize and make recommendations . . All ideas are reviewable, and some, after due consideration will, change some minds . . You're certainly not wasting your time Tom . .

"Tom types, feeling his inner John Adams"
That's hilarious - though probably for a select audience.
