Earlier this week, I attended the retirement ceremony of General David Petraeus at Fort Meyer. It was a landmark moment, the closing of a chapter–the decade after 9/11. I’ve written about the transformation of the U.S. Military at length, including a column about Petraeus’ intellectual impact on the Army and a cover story about how counterinsurgency warfare has, if nothing else, produced a generation of officers with public service skills that may have a major impact on our society. Fred Kaplan, smart as always, has a very clear and concise piece about the Army’s transformation here.
