'The weak egotist attracted to all volunteer (victim) military service wants canned formulas for everything. When the formula doesn't work he lacks the personal internal self-esteem to admit a mistake and start over; he must deny the failure lest his mental house of cards collapses. The computer-in-everything is the hoped-for "Mother may, I?" gadgetry he depends on as a technocrutch to AVOID "problems" like combat and just call for somebody elses's firepower to wipe out the enemy so the gunslinger narcissists need only jump out and strike a sexy pose with their sunglasses. Problem is that the ENEMY (remember him?) has a VOTE on the non-linear battlefield and he doesn't have to go along with our RMA/firepower/doctrinal label BS. When the 309 Stryker LAVtrucksters couldn't be hid amongst the 140, 000 troops in Iraq and started getting blown up driving into road ambushes they couldn't avoid, an internal Army report surfaced showing fatal flaws were known BEFORE the naive narcissist troops who don't know "what right looks like" (never had experience in M113 Gavin light armored tracks to have a standard to make comparisons with) were thrust into the non-linear SASO racket clusterfuck in Iraq. In Afghanistan, the Canadians discovered their LAV-3s got stuck and broke down so badly, they had to abandon forward bases and terrain to the Taliban. To their credit, they had the humility and professionalism to switch to Leopard 1 medium tanks and advanced "M113A4" Gavin tracks following the lead of the British and Dutch Royal Marines who had earlier gone to tracked armored mobility. The American volunteer military mind imbued by greed and narcissism to try to fill a void in his/her life (godless existentialism) is ill-suited for combats if the establishment formula created before by better men than themselves collapses. No amount of computerization can make you smart if you refuse to face facts and think.
