"institutional racism" part is probobly quite off, I don't think Brits understand what that term means in America where we actually had real racism.

Outside of that line, "moral righteousness, misplaced optimism, and of being ill-suited to engage in counter-insurgency operations" seems to be accurate.

I found the first 1/2 of the article to be agreeable and the second half to be disagreeable. Some things are objective truth and some things may be just differences in American armed theory and English armed theory.
