Actually it's not that new. Remember in Vietnam we'd send a company out into the jungle as bait so the NVA/VC would attack it and then we'd whack the NVA/VC with artillery and airpower? Producing the counter-stratefy "Grab the enemy by the belt buckle". Well now the strategy is to put an...

Doug- Until recently, he was the skipper at VFA-81. They had a "mini-scandal" when they pulled in from cruise last December, and the jet with his callsign on it made the TV news. The Navy in its finite wisdom did a JAG investigation to determine command culture. How could the CO (himself)...
