Americaâ€™s ‘long war(s)’

Posted by Matt in January 14th, 2008

The emerging technologies of the 1990s have not changed the very nature of war, as many claimed they would.

The Future of War

Any future adversary will, at a minimum, attempt to employ all the dimensions of warfare to asymmetrically counter critical U.S. military capabilities in such areas as conventional warfare, force projection, and C4ISR, including space operations and precision strike. Opponents will attempt to impose untenable costs on the United States by using time-tested techniques against superior force, threatening a protracted war of attrition to undermine domestic public support, raising the level of violence and brutality, and expanding and escalating the conflict by targeting the U.S. homeland and those of its key allies.

Opponents will attempt to raise the cost of access by increasing the risk to the United States of naval and air operations by expanding the area of a â€œcontested zone,â€ seeking to destroy high-value assets, e.g. aircraft carriers, dissuading allies and partners from providing bases and other forms of support to U.S. forces, and degrading the ability of the United States to deploy forces into an area of interest.

	Last Goodbye: US Soldiers from Iraq War A video I made about the dead US Soldiers and their funerals. I know it's pretty long, but they deserve no less. It's a tribute to the ultimate sacrafice they have made for their family, friends and strangers of this country. Keep vulgar and hateful comments to yourself. This is tribute to the fallen men and women in uniform, not a political statement or debate about whether or not we should be there.

	Pt 1 - World War 1 American Legacy, documentary series WW1 World War 1 American Legacy is a documentary series on DVD about the American involvement in WW1 and how it changed our country. The series was filmed in High Definition to portray the most detailed WWI images ever seen on screen. The Great War (also called the War to End All Wars) cost the lives of millions in battles like the Somme and Verdum. Even though the United States didn't officially enter the war until 1917, some American men and women volunteered for service as early as 1914. They drove ambulances, worked for the Red Cross, fought in the trenches and flew airplanes. Films like Lawrence of Arabia, Gallipoli, Flyboys and All Quiet on the Western Front have portrayed the war on screen.
