marc = warlike?

to kill time while waiting on a phone interview at work marc reads US military articles... why? because war will continue to be fundamental to the human condition as long as we insist on maintaining national or cultural differences in a finite resource world. why this particular article? it was about updating the principles of war. but really i was just amused that it's title started "NEO-STRATEGICON."


"In security matters, intellectual stasis could be fatal. The great danger today, for example, is assuming that the irregular warfare of current conflicts is the inescapable template for future wars... Finally, we must continue to search for peace even as we prepare for war. We can hope that the melancholy belief that "only the dead have seen the end of war" is wrong, so long as we always realize that hope is not a principle of war."
