FYI, I met Shambaugh, been to his office, and saw his personal PLA collection at GW, a very impression collection of PLA published books i might add . Oh, he also reads CDF so are his students. One of his student whom I met told me they discuessed the role of BBS (CDF) in PLA watching.

Like all things, he is good at civil-military relations, but when it come to actual military issues, he is.....how to put it…. Not well respected.
oh, you've visited shambaugh too? that's probably a good reason why most of the classes he teaches at GWU focus on politics as opposed to military. in fact, i don't remember him teaching a single military course at the elliott school (the int'l relations school of GW).
