| | Cincinnatus Inside Out: Part 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Cincinnatus condemns the politically corrosive uses of free-fire zones, harassing and interdiction fire, defoliation, search and destroy with the emphasis on the later, the repeated use of indiscriminate artillery in civilian areas, regular harassment of noncombatants, and the bombing of strategically insignificant targets in both North and South Vietnam. |
 | | Cincinnatus may be correct in citing the adoption of the wrong set of values for putting the Army on the failure track, but he is superficial and unprofessional in citing one uniformed individualand an authentic war hero at thatfor sending the Army in that direction. |
 | | Cincinnatus, in his attempt to garner authority for his single-minded condemnation takes a paragraph in which Komer indicts both State and AID for not critically examining their performance and substitutes the phrase "Green Machine" (which is to be nowhere found in the Komer passage) for the civilian bureaucracies Komer is condemning. |
