I also don’t know much (if anything) about the Army War College’s impact on the actual Military.

Just about 100% of all general/flag officers in the US military (with the possible exception of JAG, medical, chaplains, etc) attend one of the senior service colleges (the Army War College, or one of the other services’ equivalents) as colonels (or sometimes as LTCs).

Having completed the US Army Sergeants Major Academy in the last year (the equivalent course on the enlisted side), I can tell you that there is absolutely zero discussion of Islam (radical or otherwise) in the course.

This does not, however, mean that nobody is studying these topics on their own, or that there is no discussion at lower levels. I personally taught an NCO professional development class on the subject in my unit last month.
