That is a bit troubling. The advent of air power was a new kind of war, add in space operations and planning and new methods of war were adopted, never mind the idea of nuclear weapons opening an entire new form of war, cyber like it or not is likely a new domain even if built on the bones of other forms of war.

I imagine the first generals looking at boats saying "Navy? What? That is no way to wage war. You can't wage war from a boat!".

New or old they are changing and morphing.
