<<George Will went to Carlisle Barracks to see how the U.S. 
<<Army is training its officers.  His article on the Washington 
<<Post Op-ed Page yesterday has this opening paragraph:
<<
<<"Officers studying at the Army War College walk the ground at 
<<nearby Gettysburg where Pickett's men walked across an open 
<<field under fire.  They
<<wonder:  How did Confederate officers get men to do that?  
<<The lesson:  Men can be led to places they cannot be sent."
<<
<<Will's article is about the war in Iraq and how army officers 
<<are learning to deal with it.  You can read the entire 
<<article titled "Letting Soldiers Do the Thinking" at
<<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/0
