** Military
Billmon has a great discussion of the reisistance in Iraq and the great effect to which cheap mortars are be used to inflict damage on American static defenses. He also gets into the economics of insurgencies, comparing expensive high technology weapons to hordes of relatively expendible guerillas. Well worth the read, and timeless, so if you're reading this later go back and read it anyway.
