Madison decides to advertise for a military historian to fill the Ambrose-Hesseltine chair

Hey! We'll probably never know whether last month's discussions at National Review Online, Blog Them Out of the Stone Age, Cliopatria, Phi Beta Cons, Altercation, and Open University had any influence in the decision-making, but the history department at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, is advertising its search to fill the Ambrose-Hesseltine Chair in American Military History. Can I think of the name of someone who would be an excellent candidate for it? Er, yes, I can.
