William Lind.  Excellent thinking on next gen warfare.  I developed the framework of the first three generations ("generation" is shorthand for dialectically qualitative shift) in the 1980s, when I was laboring to introduce maneuver warfare to the Marine Corps. Marines kept asking, "What will the Fourth Generation be like?", and I began to think about that. The result was the article I co-authored for the Marine Corps Gazette in 1989, "The Changing Face of War: Into the Fourth Generation." Our troops found copies of it in the caves at Tora Bora, the al Quaeda hideout in Afghanistan. 9:17:01 PM    Comment_ Trackback []

Ok, the next reality show I won't watch:  Trump's The Apprentice.  Getting good at picking the bad reality shows. 9:09:17 PM    Comment_ Trackback []
