And it's a straw man to attack the "revolution in military affairs," which has long been outmoded. The new thinking is to constantly get inside the decision loops of terrorists, and we are doing a phenomenal job of this. Peters obviously was struggling for a topic.
You would be better off to consider my forthcoming book, "America's Victories: Why Americans Win Wars and Will Win the War on Terror." And we will do so with minimal casualties, not excessive casualties as Peters prophesies.
This is very true.....but just as the old Western saying goes..."war is just an extension of politics"....our enemies see "politics as just an extension to their war"....
They see fighting through the political prism (attacking our political will) as simply another military front in their cause. To this extension for them (though it will not be successful...IMO) the suicide bomber and the IED have been true innovations in the since that our enemies have used both more vigorously then in any other time in modern history.
I don't agree with all of Peters takes within this article....but he does provide a number of very accurate points within it.
