The Shadow Wars of the 21st Century
2014-07-25
"The wars of this century are less and less likely to resemble the wars of the last. And a military that was largely designed and built for the last century may need serious restructuring in order to successfully win the wars of this one."

#2  Why worry about fighting wars when you've already surrendered your borders. You're more likely to be arrested at the border for bringing in a piece of fruit than being a member of a notorious gang traveling to their tribe in el Norte or carrying an infectious disease.

#1  The classic story is the generals that plan to fight the last war. It's why the most successful commanders in a war usually have to be promoted to their position; they were out of 'style' during peace.
