Richard,

This was not exactly what I was thinking
when I asked the question. My question
was more directed toward the problem
of mechanised war of WWI and trying to
relate it to the high technology of the
Modern Military Revolution. The next
step of development seems to be
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, so one can
even avoid human losses.

Another thing is the just war against
Europe's last communist dictator and
his thugs. I think EJ would certainly
have had understanding for this
especially as Milosevic is the Oberfoerster
in _Auf den Marmorklippen_.

Milosevic' raging ethnic cleansers
are mentioned in AdM:

"Es brannten auch die Dörfer und die
Weiler im weiten Lande, und aus den
stolzen Schloessern und den Kloestern
im Tale schlug hoch die Feuersbrunst empor".
(p. 126, 15th German edition, 1990)

EJ, as usual, has his prognostics right.

Juengerian greetings

Bertil Haggman
