If this guy had only mentioned Gavins


Boyd was a good learning tool in the 80s when trying to describe the purpose behind Air Land Battle and Maneuver warfare.

Not much of an article
Never read anything BY Sparks, but read a bunch ABOUT Sparks. Seems like a total tool. But if he 'gets' Boyd, he may at least have stolen a march on the crew up in here.

And I rate that as a GREAT article.
