Thoughtful thread on SWJ's Small Wars Council: Recruiting for SWC members because... The thread started in September 2007 and has taken on a new life.
Small wars are small only in terms of the number of troops committed. In terms of scope, impact, and resources (in a holistic sense, not just "dollars on target") they are very broad and touch on many areas of society and government that people don't necessarily think about. Our membership is already broad, but every new, thoughtful addition is welcome and needed.
