I don’t know how I missed it, but today I discovered the new United States Navy recruiting slogan. And I like it! “A Global Force for Good” is a great slogan.
I’ve always followed military technology developments and enjoy military history. Why I never served in the armed forces is a mystery to many people, including myself. Anyway, I remember a debate I had with a friends in high school about the future of warfare. A lot of wild claims were made in that argument by me and my friend. I’ll save all those recollections for another time. But on the subject of Star Wars Missile Defense and Brilliant Pebbles my friend had claimed, “you can’t hit a bullet with a bullet.” (more…)
I’m glad to see that good old tried and true methods are not forgotten. That technology does not solve all problems. And that not all solutions have to be hugely expensive or complicated.
