Battleground now includes social media

The system, he said, is what’s broken.

“In the face of a nimble, adaptive opponent, unconstrained by truth, or ethics, our people are left swimming in bureaucracy, using outdated technology,” Lumpkin said, “The bottom line is that we are not putting the required resources against the problem set. As a result, the U.S. and our are allies are conceding the information battle space to a far less capable enemy.” Blunt in his assessment of the challenges, Lumpkin is also confident in the State Department’s new approach, creating a Global Engagement Center, which is “taking a fundamentally different approach.”

We will see, at least Lumpkin has a vision and energy, but will it be enough to overcome a stubborn bureaucracy?
