Unifying physical and psychological impact during operations. Brigadier General Huba Wass de Czege, U.S. Army, Retired; America's love affair with technology and raw power eroded appreciation for the psychological dimension of war.
Narrowing the gap: DOD and stability operations. Colonel David W. Shin, U.S. Army; Performing all stability lines of operations as a "core mission" is impossible for the U.S. military; it does not have the resources. DOD must prioritize its strengths--providing civil security and control.
