Thanks for saying that! I have found that all too often, when dealing with polarized issues, people just don’t seem to believe it when the “other side” asks for comments and criticisms – and is serious about it! Personally, I think that this is a great opportunity for people to make comments and explain their criticisms and actually have them heard. As you said, it is a great counter to group think .

Thanks again for you comments on the Army Capstone Concept. You are exactly correct when you say that TRADOC leaders will read and potentially incorporate public comments into the final ACC. That is the point of developing doctrine via cummunity-based design, to carefully consider the views of other communities of invidivuals who reside outside of our exclusive Army focus. Our intent is to counter the negative effects of group think by gaining the views of others.
