From Here to Eternity
As noted in the Irish Times, the response by the U.S. Army to the political plans for perpetual warfare from here to eternity is not the generals' first preference, but rather a choice forced on them by politicians. With U.S. policy specifically identifying aggression (aka offensive forward projection of power) as the official solution to resource depletion, world war against the proprietors of these resources is an inescapable fate for the U.S. armed forces. Public acknowledgment of this by the U.S. military in its own strategic documents should ring off alarm bells from Washington to Wasilla.
