CounterInsurgency (reading reference) part 2

Brendan McQuade: The Return of Domestic CounterInsurgency?: "A more humanitarian, 'civic action,' mission co-exists alongside this more coercive intelligence mission. A functioning government cannot be built with violence alone. Services need to be provided: schools, hospitals, roads, and all the rest of modern infrastructure. The new counterinsurgents, of which Petraeus is the most visible, are acutely aware of this need. Lauded by the press as 'scholar-warriors,' counterinsurgents argue for a necessity of unity between civil-military roles, cultural sensitivity and a restrained use of force. Despite all these complexities, it's still warfare: 'Counterinsurgency is not just thinking man's warfare; it's the graduate level of war.'
