Comme \u00e0 l’habitude, William S. Lind nous donne (aujourd’hui, sur Antiwar.com<\/a>) une excellente analyse, cette fois sur la r\u00e9volte des g\u00e9n\u00e9raux.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tCertes, les g\u00e9n\u00e9raux ont raison. Mais les d\u00e9fenseurs de Rumsfeld qui disent que les g\u00e9n\u00e9raux se r\u00e9voltent parce que le secr\u00e9taire \u00e0 la d\u00e9fense leur impose une r\u00e9forme r\u00e9volutionnaire n’ont pas tort, et Dieu sait si le Pentagone a besoin d’\u00eatre r\u00e9form\u00e9, et d’une fa\u00e7on r\u00e9volutionnaire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tMais l’on doit aussi savoir que la r\u00e9forme r\u00e9volutionnaire que veut imposer Rumsfeld va dans la plus parfaite mauvaise direction qui soit: \u00ab Instead of attempting to move from the Second Generation to the Third (much less the Fourth), <\/em>[Rumsfeld’s] Transformation’ retains the Second Generation’s conception of war as putting firepower on targets while trying to replace people with technology. Its summa is the Death Star, where men and women in spiffy uniforms sit in air-conditioned comfort zapping enemies like bugs. It is a vision of future war that appeals to technocrats and lines industry pockets, but has no connection to reality.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tEt ainsi de suite… Que nous reste-t-il? Tout en nous expliquant qu’au moins un des r\u00e9volt\u00e9s m\u00e9rite le respect, Lind ne nous laisse gu\u00e8re d’espoir.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab At least one of Rumsfeld’s retired general critics, Greg Newbold, understands all this. I’ve known and respected Greg since he was a captain teaching at The Basic School, and many of us hoped he would be commandant some day, the first commandant since Al Gray who would try to move the Marine Corps beyond Second Generation war (in more than its doctrine manuals).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb But the Imperial Court gets what is wants, and what it wants are not generals like Greg Newbold. It wants senior leaders’ who are, above all, compliant, and it finds no shortage of candidates. They may growl about Rumsfeld in private, but in public they bow and scrape, not only to the SecDef and the catastrophic policies of a failed presidency, but even more to high tech’ and its magical ability to expand defense budgets. At some point they will make a break, because the military does not want to wear the albatross of (two) lost wars. But not until they have extracted the uttermost farthing.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb The play is titled, No Exit’. Unless, unless Rumsfeld’s head should not be the only one to roll.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
