I have to apologize more often.

I do so to Ted O'Connor and I get this gem from Christopher Thompson as a result:

It is difficult to have to endure the time consuming process of COIN. It is equally difficult to endure the lack of 5GW to start limiting our exposure to 4GW.

That, in a nutshell, is a brilliant definition of 5GW--at least in function.

Fifth-generation warfare is designed primarily to limit one's exposure to Fourth-Generation Warfare.

KISS, baby!

No, I wouldn't see 5GW preventing earlier generations. That's easy enough to figure out and be obvious about (hell, being really obvious about it is much of the delivery).

But 5GW should be a leap-frogging of the bloody-nose strategy of the 4GWers.

How achieved?

It ain't about not caring how much you bleed, but figuring out how not to bleed whatsoever.

You are self-healing, real-time.

That's why I'm with Enterra.
