sample quote

Repeated throughout history, technology has enabled battlefield surprises that must be heeded.
The Pearl Harbor attack was enabled by the then-unconventional use of aircraft carriers and their long-range aircraft to strike without detection.

The modern version of such a strike would come not from aircraft carriers,
but from cyber, ballistic and cruise missiles launched from submarines off our coast or missiles launched from mainland.
Unlike 1941, the homeland is no longer beyond the reach of our principal foe.
...snip...

In short, to avert war the nation must begin winning in the great game for strategic position,
while investing and delivering on a viable military and industry able to wage a long war.
Without this, a modern Pearl Harbor and a subsequent long war occurring is only a matter of time.
