Center for Lessons Learned: A Library for Soldiers?

Leave it to soldiers not to be able to call a library a library. It’s very funny. Maybe the name “library” is too girly? too wimpy? too something not manly or tough enough?

But the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) is a wonderful sounding place (it’s a library!) and I love the name. After all, isn’t a library also a Center for Lessons Learned? (If only we would learn them!) This week’s (5/25/07) This American Life (TAL) broadcast a superb program on the CALL and it is worth listening to (free podcast/download from the TAL website).
