Curtis, I mean, even in the general sense? How can we demonstrate the existence of generational warfare as such to skeptics?
The xGW is a framework...an intellectual construct. It serves its purpose in that it give us all a common way approaching thinking about conflict, seeing how it can be different, seeing the possibilities and looking to the future. It is there for us to make sense of what has been, is, and will be going on. It makes us stronger and smarter for knowing and increase our intellectual capabilities (especially over folks that think warfare has just changed from muskets to machine guns).
So, the big question...is what is 5GW and how might it take place, what are possible variation, properties and organizatons, and can we see signs of it now or prototypes/shadows of what it will be. That's what this blog is for right?
Make no mistake, there will be 5GW. Humans are smart and keep trying to improve and get a leg up over their competitors (other humans - until robots revolt - heh).
