It's been used at least twice in threads where I was active (here at Dreaming 5GW, and there at ZenPundit), but I just noticed Smitten Eagle's use of the term "GMW" to stand for William Lind's "Generations of Modern War" framework. I think it's great that Lind's work has a TLA, and if we use "XGW" instead of "xGW," it makes a comparison between GMW and XGW easier to display in letters.
The sooner that XGW can divorce itself from GMW the better.
Who gets the credit for the term "GMW"?

I'm pretty sure it was me.

Might have used it somewhere else first though.
I am completely ok using GMW (occasionally linked back to a Lind article). This will help with differentiation of the idea.
Using "XGW" works for me.
What is "XGA"?
Aherring,
I think it was you too.
PurpleSlog,
Typo? What typo? :-)
Heh...gotcha! I think it funny that I noticed a typo. I can go back to almost any old post of mine and find typos or dropped words.
