Ares has another post singing the praises of Air-Sea Battle. Air-Sea Battle, just like the "Revolution in Military Affairs" before it is the hope for a painless war. Think tanks have been trying to solve the issue of fighting a painless, neat and technological war.

We're barbaric.
We're easily broken. Easily killed.
Wars are tragedies...Tragedies are never neat. Never clean. Never painless.
But forget what I have to say on the issue. I recommend that you read the attached .pdf. Gulf War 1 was the closest that air power advocates have come to realizing the dream. Even there they failed.
