Jack be nimble

That's Tom Ricks' message with regard to our military. He thinks that the United States still has an Industrial Age military in an Information Age world. In today's world we need a military that is not necessarily “ready for combat” at any given moment but instead is most able to adapt to the events of tomorrow. Adaptation is a key word. Will our military be able to adapt fast enough to our changing world. We can't say we were very quick in adapting to the insurgencies we have tried to defeat.
