| AHOY,
Generations, Strategy’s, Blocks and Tactics…
I am going to attempt to make the case here that what we are looking at is a cyclic afar not a linear continuum.
I also find it odd that those dividing all these so called generations of warfare, usually do so based on a change in tactics. Fallowed up by the statement that tactics are for the armatures.
I am sure I could have done more research here and provided dates and figures etc. However IMO this is a big old can of warms and so I’ll let this be my starting salvo.
As far as Strategies go I say ultimately you only have three chooses, one Overt operations, two Covert operations and three surrender.
With either of these you can be subtle or aggressive. With surrender it may be that the new old saying of “surrender, surrender but don’t give yourself away” may be the source of the problem. That is to say that people are individuals and thus never are able to fully buy into anyone else’s ideology no matter how hard they try. There for the old ugly head of change keeps raising its head. Boardum could also play apart i.e utopia is boring.
1st cycle IMO is Man vs Nature and Animal;
Starting with the Dawn of man, however that took place. I do believe in God, just not organized religion. I cannot get my mind around the image of a microbe crawling out of a pool of whatever one day or night fallowed 6 billion years later by a guy waving down a taxi on 5th avenue in New York City. I forget the movie or show that I got that from but I really like it.
Here just like with the three block war theory. I remind everyone that even today you may find yourself in a survival situation i.e. living off land etc. I would also suggest that Global warming is a cycle of this reoccurring conflict.
2nd cycle IMO is Man vs Man;
this I well say started around the time of the advent of agriculture thus your four cradles of civilization. Thus man has positions and greed lead to others without, taking things they wanted. I well include here the so call 1st generation of war i.e. the so call state vs. state monopoly on warfare. To me all manner of changes occur here including the advances of many sciences, starting the 3rd conflict to be mentioned next.
We had the industrial revolution witch IMO brought about the military industrial congressional complex. Mass production of weapons and material. Thus IMO war as a business and a major global export, thus WWI. As far as WMD go, I say these have existed ever science man began using the same well to drink from i.e. the animal carcass being throw in.
I don’t know if it actually accrued but there was the story of the British giving the blankets infected with small pox to the Native Americans.. If it did not accrue IMO it certainly would have worked that way.
Here we also have the various economic systems. I recommend the video “money as debt”. The bottom line is that a system base on consumption of natural resources is finite. IMO any attempt to introduce conservation or recycling and alternatives makes for great theory strategically however tactically IMO no one well be the first to take a serious cut in profits. Thus they are suggesting fighting a forest fire with a bucket of water. Today I do not believe B.P. is serious with their latest feel good commercial propaganda messages.
Lastly here I’ll bring up population control, it has to be fixed i.e. controlled or we are like people trapped in an air tight volt with only a small hole providing air, if we let more in we suffocate quicker. I well suggest that the Christians and this marriage issue is to blame in large part. The government too with its more benefits if you have more children. Here someone needs to say hay if each of the parents (in case of divorce) cannot afford the kid, you don’t have it. But the system I know firsthand is based on promoting the family (i.e. trap) first and foremost.
Real life example; I worked for a company once and was the best worker they had ever seen. This in my younger days. However when it came to getting a raise it was explained to me that the other guy and his wife were expecting a baby so he got the raise. I explained to that idiot that he could find two or three other yes men to take my place. Because I knew he wanted more people that had sold there sold to the company store i.e. that they knew they had by the short ones. Like I’ve said this is a big old can of warms, I could go no and no.
3rd cycle of conflict IMO is Separation of Church and State;
here we could start with the people in the old testament choosing a King vs the priest. Our for fathers leave Europe to start over and perhaps the middle east is starting on such an experiment today. IMO thought it seems the priest is never far behind and people are week so they flock back to there old ways maybe even starting with the kings/presidents.
Maybe we could start by making organized religion the problem i.e. keep it as an indi |
