La próxima guerra.

El Teniente General Wesley Clark apunta lecciones para la próxima guerra y no hay nunca que desperdiciar una lección gratis:

"One of the most important lessons from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -- and Vietnam, for that matter -- is that we need to safeguard our troops. The U.S. public is more likely to sour on a conflict when it sees the military losing blood, not treasure. So to keep up our staying power, our skill in hunting and killing our foes has to be matched by our care in concealing and protecting our troops. Three particularly obvious requirements are body armor, mine-resistant vehicles, and telescopic and night sights for every weapon. But these things are expensive for a military that has historically been enamored of big-ticket items such as fighter planes, ships and missiles. Many of us career officers understood these requirements after Vietnam, but we couldn't shift the Pentagon's priorities enough to save the lives of forces sent to Iraq years later."

Quizás también nosotros deberíamos priorizar según lo que necesitamos más para nuestra próxima guerra; si es que nuestra próxima guerra no está ya aquí, a lo cual ya llegaríamos tarde y mal.
