Unrestricted Warfare

Sgt G and I are reading through a book called Unstrestricted Warfare.

http://www.terrorism.com/documents/TRC-Analysis/unrestricted.pdf

It was written by two Chinese Colonels back in 1999. They are very predictive in their writing, and very close to being right on.

Reading helps to pass the time after work and get us thinking about something other than our daily grind.

This book discusses higher theories of war and suggests that the nature of war has changed. It says that war is no longer about soldiers on battlefields, but has become a rule-less, omni-present state of conflict where hackers and identity entrepreneurs use everyday objects wield power. ...1999....

It talks about thinking about war differently and considering EVERYTHING a weapon and EVERYONE capable of doing international damage. ...you know, relaxing reading before bed!

Honestly though, complacency kills in an environment like this, and a book like this keeps us on our toes. We have to keep our minds in a heightened state of readiness so we remain a hard target to hit.

Hopefully we will have it done in a week or so and we will be on to something else... I will keep you posted.

Semper Fi,
