When in the entire history of warfare, were there ever discrete forms of warfare? It's not "outdated." Such a time never existed!
Might a Hoffman-esque Hybrid framework be replacing the "IW" brand?
Likewise, Hybrid warfare has always existed. Frank Hoffman is using Hybrid as a way of forcing people to think. It's like putting training wheels on a kid's bike for folks not comfortable with being outside the box they created - and as such is useful, if limited to that purpose.
