Internet warfare--the way of the future.

I don't care what General Petraeus thinks--he is an old warrior, trained to fight the old fashioned way. Well, our world has changed, it no longer their soldiers against ours, their planes against ours, their tanks against ours. In some cases the enemies don't wear a uniform. It's now the modern era--Internet warfare; shutting down power supplies, disrupting communications, jamming radio signals, shutting down the stock exchange, etc. "Boots on the ground"--guys and gals running around with heavy back packs, automatic rifles and grenades--watching America's finest lumbering around is heart breaking, to say the least-- this is so ancient it is an embarrassment in a modern world; but change don't come easy. The old Military establishment wants no change-- they are comfortable the way it is--they will wake up when Russia and China adopt the modern era of warfare--unfortunately for us, that day may be too late. Ya, the old Generals and the military establishment will have to adapt; they don't have a choice. So what to do with all the Generals and all the foot soldiers? I say, shrink the numbers, and create more harden military nerve centers with electronics controls and command capabilities to launch drones and counterintelligence electronics warfare--defensive and aggressive.It use to be when our economy tanked, we went to war--all those ammunition, planes, etc--it was a bonanza for us--jobs, jobs, jobs and the economy roared back; well, those days are over--unfortunately, some of us don't get it or refuse to accept reality. God help us.
