11. Could you expand on how you think a 21st century conflict ought to be fought?
It's true that asymmetrical guerrilla-type wars are hard to fight - on the other hand, it's not like we are driving fleets of tanks around looking for a pitched battle that will never arrive. We are making heavy use of 21st century technology for things like done reconnaissance etc. - I am not in favor of remote control bombing because of the difficulty of correctly identifying targets and resulting mistakes such as blowing up wedding parties, rather I am referring to using drones for monitoring and mapping to support ground troops.
