Chopper,
I give a "lessons identified" paper to the UK and European QHTI courses; we cover Korea, Algeria, Vietnam, Iran/Iraq, Falklands, Gulf and Afghanistan. It's a bit of a canter through, but it gets them (hopefully...) to dig a bit deeper. The recurring theme is, in some areas, how little has changed - tactics employed in Algeria still have merit today. I'm never ceased to be amazed by the US observers on the course who've never heard of the Howze Board, but, there you go...Of course, most of the guys I lecture nowadays are combat veterans themselves (albeit in one Theatre in most cases...).
Happy to run you through it Chopper next time we have a brew/beer....
BTW - Old's book is superb and he's a constant in my "Dream dinner party" line up...a comparison between Olds and Boyd is an amusing way to while away a few hours...
