Their own problem is that I'm not a theoretician but an active, career-spanning practitioner of strategic planning whose main client has always been and will always be the U.S. military. What I do, and what my impact is, is but slightly glimpsed by the outside and when it is, it's rarely interpreted correctly (Ignatius the Wise is a rare person in this regard, like Jaffe). What I write down for publications is a refracted view of that world, delivered to the best of my ability and delivered for maximum understanding while protecting the equities of those whose trust I value as they value mine. But this is all primping, silly-ass stuff to begin with. If I had wanted the approval of a bunch of pinhead academics, I would have stayed in academia back in 1990 (and no, I was never an academic at the Naval War College, which was a big part of my problem there). Instead, I have always sought a different audience with a very different goal: to lead a worldwide revolution in thinking about the seam between war and peace. Okay. It's now official. Barnett's ego is the size of Jupiter.
