We're out of Schlitz

And when you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer.  

Charlie is spending her Tuesday evening watching PBS's Frontline's new documentary on the war in Afghanistan.  It features interviews with Army units in the Korengal, and a murderer's row of friends of this blog:  Dave Kilcullen, John Nagl, Colin Kahl, and Tom Ricks, among others.  Steve Coll (author of Ghost Wars) is absolutely lights out.

It may not all be news to avid readers of the world's most famous blog, but it's a great breakdown of the complicated issues at hand.  It's both basic counter-insurgency and fundamentally different from the task at hand in Iraq.  Check your listings or watch it online.

Update:  Intrepid Spencer makes the same observation as Charlie:  Dr. Nagl's hair looks positively professorial.
