Yes, where is General Eisenhower?

Coldstreamer, I am reminded by a remark John Maynard Keynes made when he was trying to help us out with a little economic problem we were having, sometimes called The Great Depression. :eek:
...

I was thinking more at the level of Grand Strategy(national Policy) it should be how we harness our national resources to avoid having to go to war in the first place, If our National Policy fails,...

How about this....Strategy is how you make the enemies power irrelevant to you accomplishing your objective.

Can you expand on that? You are about to convince me. Does anybody care if California revolts...I thought they already had:)

Exactly, I think Vietnam (project agile type stuff) was a tipping point. We used to do it right but lately....I don't know.

Oh and lest I forget did you see in the news awhile back The War On...

Short answer is this when you lead with technology you lose.

Backround: I was reading a NOVA interview of General Van Riper and he was talking about this very subject. He said we should figure out...

Bill, you agree with this? I don't see anything balanced or helpful in this. Where was this non debatable Airpower advatange during 911. It is futile to debate it because he is wrong.

Gray's 3rd...

Wilf, how can you say that? He flat out states that is impossible for the US to be anything but a Hi-Tech power. That is a rather bold statement, but I am sure the Air Force loves it. We agree on one...

Bill, here it is.

I am looking it up right now. Standby the door.

I find it strange that Colin S. Gray is being quoted considering he says Americas future is to become a total Airpower type organization.

Icepack,I know what METT-TC is but am not familiar with METT-TLS??

Listen to the President explain it. Ignore the video stuff just listen to the speech.

I don't think we need anymore new words in the war vocabulary as many have pointed out, however I bet this catches on. Our economy is a hybrid economy, part planned and part free market (supposedly...

Now that is what I call the PhD level of warfare. Especially chapter 3;)

Thats why the military became so interested in systems analysis in the late 50's and 60's. One method to analyze and develop a counter System to any Violent System out there. State,Non-State,4GW,...

Bobs World, What about this idea. We are confusing Types of Warfare with Strategy!

War doesn't change as you point out but Strategies will evolve and adapt as need be based upon the opponent and...

Hi Rob, yes open debate is the best way to learn stuff:eek: Which leads me to this motive is simply the commander's intentions which just sounds better to me..Example...what are your intentions in...

Darn Rob, you almost had me convinced.... but I think Motive ,Method and opportunity can be applied to any level but it is greatest at the Grand Strategic level heres why. Motive is the simple Why...

Like I said Rob it is motives,methods and OPPORTUNITIES. To me good Generalship is more about identifying opportunities than anything else. He has to have the ability to find the chink in the enemies...

Hi Rob, I could probabaly live with that except for the fact that people cause crimes and wars based upon their motives. So to me any theory of war that makes any sense must hold that understanding...
