OK, here's where the awake should be asking "what war?" The title should read "Training for more war." At what price is hegemony considered too expensive? Anyone else with concerns that this current war footing is not only showing we are not a superpower, but is draining the very resources we need to keep this country intact? Globalization is on everyone's tongue, but I hear it as the end of America as we knew it. That prospect should be spurring folks to action.

Yes, our military must keep up with battlefield developements. I object to posturing it as suiting up for the next round. That implies future wars.
