Global Warrior

With more worries at home, many Americans want to end all U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan and elsewhere. "Global Warrior: Averting WWIII," isbn 978-0-9818659-3-5, says even more involvement is now necessary, but of a different kind. Since 9/11, the United States has been under subliminal attack from three foreign elements¿Islamist, Communist, and criminal. All three have also been active around the world's great ocean chokepoints. With an in-depth look at Pakistan/Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, and Thailand, this book investigates the level of collusion of those foreign elements. While certainly significant, this expanding threat need not metastasize into a global conflagration. With a different kind of expeditionary presence, the Pentagon could prevent any further escalation. Killing figurehead leaders with drone missiles is not the answer. The answer is in more widespread community involvement. Without local security, there can be no working democracy. What if there were no expensive overseas support bases, just a myriad of semi-independent squads living off their local economies. Their job would be to help man friendly government police/paramilitary outposts in contested regions. Instead of foreign occupiers, the young Americans would be foreign-aid workers in the law enforcement sector. Just to contend with the 1.2 million Chinese and North Korean special operators alone, this is the only way. Global Warrior follows this strategic suggestion with its application specifics. The emphasis is not on squad tactics this time, but rather on individual tactics. To form better teams and squads, one must first have more surprise-oriented members. That¿s why this book has chapters on advanced infantryman and policeman tactics. American eighteen-year-olds have always had the potential for so challenging a mission, but that potential has too often taken a back seat to headquarters control. This is an exciting read about the world's most pressing, yet under-discussed, problem. Fully illustrated and referenced, it is a celebration of the American spirit.
