This is a good article on the new military.  It's not as negative as the
title suggests, instead being constructively critical.  The article is
long but worth reading.  I especially like the references to "alpha geeks"
within the Special Forces A-Teams.  I presume they are the "upgraded"
versions of the old communications specialists, but who knows; S.F. might
have added a new position to the teams.

How Technology Failed in Iraq
The Iraq War was supposed to be a preview of the new U.S. military:
a light, swift force that relies as much on sensors and communications
networks as on heavy armor and huge numbers. But once the shooting
started, technology fell far short of expectations.
