Letter Re: Prepared Individuals and the OODA Loop

Jim-
You are probably familiar with Bill Whittle’s web site. Whittle’s writings are always arresting. His latest essay has relevance for all of us SurvivalBlog readers who are going through OODA loops [“Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act”] unwittingly and therefore inefficiently. His essay observes that although OOD is far more important than Action, success after all depends on Action–done with speed. So this subject is timely for those of us watching events unfolding. Many are pretty good at Observing and Orienting. Fewer are Deciding (which is a concrete term–not ephemeral “planning”).
Your site is very good at presenting the issues with an underlying OODA concept. It’s up to readers to understand it and to Act!
Maybe Whittle’s essay will help. – Bob B.
