#1 Big issue, hard decision.

Our advantage in the WOT: info tech. Robots, UAVs, what the spooks at NSA do, satellites. All info tech.

How do you catch the bad guys when there isn't any national leader to hold responsible? Finding a needle in a haystack - you need a way to use computers to get that done.

Sensors to collect the data. Software to sift it for potentially useful patterns.

Scary in the hands of tyrants. But powerful for free societies too if we can figure out how to keep the authorities on a leash when using it.

We've got lots of non-spanish speaking people coming across our southern border with passports from the likes of Mexico and Venezuela. Cops ain't gonna do this without military expertise.

We've got guys with RPGs doing recon on the air base where B2s come for maintenance. here in the US of A. Don't know the right answer, but the war is coming home folks and it's not a police kind of thing to stop it.
