It's probably good I never met him, because the only thing I really *wanted* to ask was: "Mister, you have a brain like a fusion reactor. What on Earth are you doing fiddling around with Star Trek books?"

He was asked that, more or less, several times when I was around. His answer tended to vary, but basically came down to that he had decided that -- the two books that he wrote, and at least one other, and definitely not some others that he had read -- they were worth doing, and, when it came to his two -- and he could be direct on this, when he chose to, although he tended to put it more delicately, most of the time -- it was his call, and not anybody else's.

Apples and Granny Smith's -- you're measuring related but different things. A Level 1 battalion is one rated as capable of completely independent operation -- not in need of US military support for combat operations at all. A Level 2 needs some fairly small support; a Level 3, more support -- possibly a lot more.

Level 1-3 battalions are all engaged in combat in Iraq.

It's still possible to argue that none of the Level 2&3 battalions are militarily effective, of course. Have at it; enjoy.
