LT Linhart

Joe Linhart, winner of Virginia and Frank Misselhorn Memorial Scholarship, takes a look at Effects Based Operations in his essay.  Spoken like a true artilleryman, Linhart contends that between war and diplomacy, there is no such thing as a lethal or non-lethal target; all are simply targets.  However it is the method of engagement that can either be lethal or non-lethal in nature.  Press Release

Written as a companion piece to an article published in 02138 magazine called "My Iraq"  (http://www.02138mag.com/magazine/article/1676.html), Joe Linhart's article "Our Army, Our America" takes a provocative look at Iraq, America and what it's like to serve in uniform. 

The former Harvard educated, Army LT also has authorized his personal essay to be published which shows how his experiences have formed his opinions on how to conduct military or diplomatic operations.
