“I think the most compelling evidence of why ISW is so highly regarded is in the writing. When you read a report from ISW, it covers everything, it documents it, and it bases it on interviews at every level, from the four-star level down to the soldier or airman in the field. And they put it in a context of what historically has worked and hasn’t, and how what we’re doing today compares to what has been done in other theaters….They have it all together. They’re the best.”
