Blind guy you are thinking i'm talking about small heavily armed units going at it with each other in the field.

This is not what i mean, that is the style of war that is the old way, and not an effective use of small heavily armed units, nor is it part of the new style of war.

The new style of war is all about intelligence and precision strikes. The "targets" that are needed to be taken out to "break" the army, as one poster wrote about, are no longer other units of military force. They are generally logistical lines and priority individuals. The power of the air is why this is so, and aerial systems require a lot of logistic to keep running, so they are very vulnerable to subtle disruptions.
