#1 Someone someplace someday might actually stumble on what 'war' is. Nasty, destructive, unemotional devastation of the enemy and its roots. Something to be avoid if possible. However, if not possible, done to the end as quickly and unforgiving as possible without any consideration to 'feelings' or humanity.

#4 So how do you explain how disruptive the low tech suicide bomber, boom mobile, and random jihadis are to the modern warfare TO?

I believe it goes two ways, as the formal organized militaries become more technologically advanced in their ability to conduct operations, the low tech/very low tech suicide bomber, random terrorist acts will become more effective.

Seems to me technology seems to miss the low tech threats and creates tactical blind spots in the field command. The dependence upon technology reduces the ability of the commanders' to anticipate low tech/asymmetrical warfare.
