I very much doubt you can guarantee that...
why then is the military still investing in such high tech equipment that will not help win hearts and minds? I am not saying that technology or firepower is bad but we need to get out of the 3GW mindset.
Because that so-called '3GW' (if you believe in generations of warfare -- I do not; warfare is multi faceted and multi generational) capability that we have is necessary to insure there are no near term '3GW' wars -- and to drive opponents to that 'asymmetric' model you mention. We can handle that as well and more easily and cheaply in all terms.

The paper I linked was posted on the SWJ Blog on 10 dec 08 LINK. As I recall it got no serious comment.
