| #5 The key lessons learned from asymmetrical conflicts is to not take prisoners and if you do for intel purposes don't keep after their expiration date. HRW and the ACLU can make your life miserable. |

| #3 Ref #1: Huge push at the time to operate in the new... mix & match "Joint environment." Second big push - make the POW political pain somehow go away. Upshot, many 'Lessons Learned' gains, but both challenges still linger. Wasn't there, sleeping in my own bunk at the time. Just my opinion. |

| #2 #1 Where they the same people who trained and commanded that Jimmy Carter special force Iran mission? ...Fortunately, no. The training and leadership for that mission were absolutely first rate. The problem was that you had several highly secret organizations that weren't talking to one another, an overly complex plan (that probably shouldn't have been executed in the first place, but Carter was desperate and the military couldn't say no), and the planners just kept hoping that nothing could go wrong.
