Edit: my post above was basically reading newest email first. Anyway, I certainly believe they thought about it. I know we did on a number of other planning events I participated in. But I also see it as potentially missing the forest for the trees. Definitely at the operational level (where my "events" tended to get capped), but also I'd submit at the strategic level. I kinda view this like I view "counterforce" thinking of the 1980s, and the idea of a protracted nuclear conflict. Great ideas in a very technical, scientific analysis. That also fail to stink check with human nature. IMO of course. I could be wrong about those topics too, obviously we have been fortunate enough to have never "found out", at least thus far.
