And perhaps it changes again now. Smart weapons have become so smart they fool themselves. Or the enemy fools them. Smart weapons can deliver surgical strikes, but what if you don't know where to cut? As Iraq and Afghanistan shows, you need grunts on the ground again. With guns. No one has yet figured out how to stop a projectile. Its either get out of the way or hope your armor can withstand the impact.
