Colonel John Boyd

[RAYJENKTY]

This is a good video. You'd never see a nigger be able to talk about topics such as this.

You the man Boyd, Thanks.

The best strategist for change! I attribute my success to the OODA loop and John Boyd, my hero.

Forty-second Boyd

This seems superficial in that he was simply shocking upper management into considering another option. However, he was disrupting an enormous government project with legions of opponents who had no idea their aircraft solution was being replaced by one guy.

looks like someone could use a cigar

He strikes me as a hyperactive guy who thinks so fast that his mouth can't quite keep up.

A rapid mind is useful in regards to the OODA loop (though I probably would have called it SODA = Sense Orient Decide Act as observe tends to have a connotation of being visual related, sense however does not. Plus Soda is an easier acronym -- still a good concept which pretty much sums up all thought processes)

If you like this video go read Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War...and then go read Mind of War. Boyd was the greatest military mind...Ever.

'cept he's dead.

Thanks for posting these vid's of the modern equivalent of Sun Tzu.

Boyd personifies the modern warrior and was a GREAT American.

[mepjohnson]

Regarding Boyd, your discription of him as the 'Modern equivalent of Sun Tzu' is entirely appropriate but not quite true.

I'd add a touch of Napoleon, Guderian, and Vo Nguyen Giap.

Max, don't forget Clausewitz...

;-)

[mepjohnson]

@munyones

Boyd never rated Clausewitz his ridged frontal attacks did not allow for flexibility which got men killed.
