| I'm not really sure how to catagorize this topic so it's going here.
What do most of you think about William Lind's Fourth Generation Warfare theories? He takes great pains to point out that his definitin of 4GW is NOT an insugency or a guerrilla war. He defines it as war by non nation state entities, usually of a guerrilla nature of course, but not always.
Assuming-and I know it's a big assumption-that the nation states really loose the monopoly on war, how will that effect the militaries of a nation state? Less heavy forces? More light infantry and SF? Greater use of private military companies?
I don't think the nation state is headed for extinction, but let's face it; the tribe is probably the oldest killing machine, not the nation state. |
