It was these UAVs that turned the corner on Iraq.

UAVs were a part of a bigger shift in the way we conduct war. I don't know what the term is this year, but infocentric warfare was a concept I used to laugh at. I envisioned some flag officer sitting in a room of big screen monitors micromanaging the battlespace. It may have started that way, but that same concept now gives troops on the ground and aircrew in the air a better view of the battlespace.

Now I realize that infocentric warfare is the key to our success. Never in history of mankind has any nation fielded a more lethal military force. Sharing info up, and more importantly, down the chain allows us to destroy more targets, with less weapons, in less time with less risk.

Yup.

I'm glad to see you're still at it, bandit. We had quite a flame war over the Harrier a couple of years back.



Here's the Beer I owe you.
