From the Paper:

"At key times in the course of human events, new inventions forever changed the way war was prosecuted. These new tactics were relied upon, and built upon until another new tactics, or technology was created. The history of war over the past centuries has been forever affected again by the computer, GPS, and abilities of small guerrilla troops, now called Special Forces to take their gear on their backs, and initiate a war at any point on the globe within 36 hours. Hopefully the shrinking size of our interconnected world and the benefits which the global economy is finding from dedicating all its resources to business and prosperity rather than global warfare will be incentive for individuals and nations to leave behind the horrors of armed conflict, and work toward lasting, and permanent peace."
