It is considered customary to include a ā€œ/sā€ tag when posting satire.

1) There are blogs from both sides that fill with comments on each article, and within the comments will be claims, or links to other blogs. Then another blog will link to that comment. The war discussion then becomes full of cross posted, self referential statements that somehow are transformed into “information” or “data” and quoted as such.

2) The Clauswitz theory of the defense having advantage in warfare was an era before satellite recon quotes of positional latitude/longitude and precise GPS or GLONASS guided guided munitions. If the defense has to be stationary to defend something, it can be targeted intensely. Attacking forces can be on the move. Guided munitions from the other side hits lat/long positions vacated.

3) Counter battery artillery is similarly rendered ineffective. Incoming munitions are guided. They maneuver. Tracking a ballistic trajectory back to launch point is impossible because the trajectory is no longer ballistic. A maneuvering item provides no information about launch point.

4) War has changed. Satellite recon is overwhelming in importance. You cannot mass troops to do anything without being seen. There is no surprise anymore. This is the first war fought with excellent satellite imagery available to both sides. It makes for a very bloody war. No one will move until they kill off enough troops to eliminate resistance, because that other side has all the same tools of recon and guidance.
