The new shape of war


He might not be your first choice for scaling the walls of Troy, but this soldier spends his days on the cyberwar front, and we can hope he's agile enough for that. In Foreign Policy yesterday, Robert Haddick discusses the silent menace of Chinese, Russian, and al-Qaeda cyber attacks. This is warfare at which the Other has all the advantages, given that the US is arguably the most open and the most networked nation in the world. He links to a lengthy document from the Center for a New American Security, Contested Commons. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford

Mr. Ford, I suspect that cyberwarrior has the heart of Achilles and the wily ways of Odysseus. It is not for nothing that our military wards off the wicked. Kudos to these silent cyber soldiers.

West Point produces some very competent
cyber soldiers.

Thanks for the reminder that we fight wars on many fronts and thanks for the links.
