This is a phenomenal article. It is interesting even if you have no interest in war. There are countless scattered insights about culture, pedagogy, leadership, personal relationships, secrecy and others. The insights on pedagogy are some of the most interesting. The main problems, according to the author, are on-high lectures where instructors are not challenged, a lack of inter-student competition, insistence on both students and instructors saving face by not knowing the answer, and a culture of secrecy. Other interesting issues: cohesion between officers and enlisted, being honest about your faults, taking responsibility. A lot of these lessons, I think, could be applied quite broadly (war, education, business, personal relationships, etc.)
