A few weeks ago, William Lind opined on 4th Generation War (4GW) coming to the US in the form of the heavily armed gangs in central California. He questioned our priorities, noting that Iraq and Afganistan may be far less troublesome issues than the developing chaos steming from these gangs (see the below article). Last… Continue reading Securing the Border: Challenges for the U.S. and Mexico – Part 3

US Military “Volunteers” Enter 4GW fray in Salinas
Update! It looks like William Lind’s blog will continue on the Global Guerrillas site. Defense and the National Interest is shutting down its website. Long an outlet for 4th Generation Warfare theory and news, the site will be sorely missed. William Lind has announced that his archives (and blog) will move to the Global Guerrillas… Continue reading US Military “Volunteers” Enter 4GW fray in Salinas
