Roger part of that. Generals *for the losing side* prepare to fight the
last war. I can assure you, the hidebound stodgy military is astonishingly
hip in their foresight and insightfulness in some areas. The guys that
get up to flag rank today are visionaries as well as practical managers.
They have some computer sims of future-battle scenarios that would

Of course, West Pointers are *still* required to get training in
swordsmanship... {8^D spike
