5GW Theory Timeline

A comment left under a blog post at the blog The Useless Tree, “War Doesn’t Work”, in which the blog author, Sam Crane, points out that U.S. and Israeli styles of fighting are no longer effective against certain foes.  The commenter, Casey Kochmer, isolates the problem as an issue of generational warfare and posits a 5th generation warfare effort occurring behind the scenes, characterizing that 5GW as a corporate effort that has co-opted 3GW and 4GW forces for the ultimate benefit of an elite.

Excerpt:

The problem is while the united states is fighting a 3rd generation war, against a fourth generation opponent. The fact is a fifth generation war also going on. No this is not a high technology war. It’s the economic war where coporate interests are using the 3rd generation and 4th generation forces to keep the war alive. To keep the military spending going, to wear down all sides, including the united states to a point where each nation can be easily controlled thru small elite power structures.

So while some might define 5th generation war as with yet to be built high technology. Nope its a economic and mind share style war of high psychology.
