Further pursuing my interest in education regarding the military, I ran across this article in the National Review regarding America's knowledge of fighting wars. Rebuffs the notion that American society no longer has the "right stuff" for fighting wars, being too wedded to technology and commerce. He brings to light a secret resource of copious military knowledge: the techno-geek. Furthermore, "...the biggest source of geek military knowledge comes from that staple of geek culture, wargaming." Nice pats on the back for those of us that admit to resembling that remark. Also, scary to think if it's up to us to maintain the country's collective military knowledge for future generations.
