Seems the family has a rift
I have been doing a ton of reading lately. 5GW (5th Generation Warfare) has sparked a renewed interest in all things military and the approach to warfare. OK, I never really left that path, but work with me here. 
As I was working my way deeper into this subject, I have found that I deviate, severely, from what has been the most authoritative work on the generations of warfare. I cannot say that this work is the only resource. However, I can say that most folks I have chatted with regarding subject of warfare through four distinct generations, base their root analysis on Mr. Lind’s work. I’ve been working through what I see in today’s warfare, based on my experiences within the USAF and the missions I was a part, and I think I am seeing a path not well traveled.
That said, I have to say, my posts have been very few lately! I think that there are a few more things to research, but it seems from this toil there are going to be several posts dedicated to this subject.
Therefore, I’m gonna post something new, right after this post, that is a tad bit more lighthearted to get back into the bloggin’ rhythm … OK?

I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts on 5GW!

I just hopped over to your site for a bit and have enjoyed what I have read so far. I find that, and maybe your team there has as well, to begin to write about 5GW requires more reading than I have time to spend writing!
This is such an emergent subject as to require considerable time forming my piece or submission. Based on past history (SIGINT & NRO) once you’ve made an attempt to ‘type’ (as in taxonomy) something, you’ve begun to influence and question that which you are trying to describe and categorize - a la Schrodinger or Heisenberg … sorta …
Ya know … ???
