21st Century wars are not won when the enemy army is defested
Mark has a great post over at Zenpundit that looks at a Nagl[1] review that addresses the big themes of 21st Century grand strategy.
Nagl:
In the twenty-first century, wars are not won when the enemy army is defeated on the battlefield; in fact, there may not be a uniformed enemy to fight at all. Instead, a war is only won when the conditions that spawned armed conflict have been changed.
[1] Readers probably already know, but Nagl has left the Army and has joined the up-and-coming Center for a New American Security.
