The horrific terrorist strikes on our financial and military centers instantly transformed these symbols of power into metaphors for our anachronistic military structure.
New York's Twin Towers were like two of our current Army divisions, designed for fighting WWII--massive hierarchical structures, vulnerable to current threats, with personnel concentrated in a way that thwarts mobility.
Ironically, the strike on the Pentagon demolished the Army office in charge of streamlining bloated headquarters staffs.
Congratulations to TAE for the October/November 2001 issue explaining the need for military reorganization. Now that we've been shocked from our seductive sense of false security, perhaps the mass media will turn to salient voices like Colonel Douglas Macgregor's.
When civilians realize that the reorganization of their military is essential to ensure greater security against the widest range of possible threats, pressure may finally be brought against entrenched resistance to long-overdue reform.
