"Small, highly mobile elements composed of very intelligent soldiers armed with high technology weapons may range over wide areas seeking critical targets. Targets may be more in the civilian than the military sector. Front-rear terms will be replaced with targeted-untargeted. This may in turn radically alter the way in which military Services are organized and structured."

Nussbaum sounds pretty good. I looked up the Cultivating Humanity text, and it sounds like an interesting read. I also came across a National Review article about the book that pissed all over Nussbaum and her book, so that's really all I need to see to know that it's probably a good one.
Must be nice to go to a school that gets real commencement speakers. When I graduated from UT-Dallas was the president of the school.
