WAR and technology

Come war with Iraq, Paul Simon is confident of the result: "These are the days of high-technology warfare, WAIS. Masses of poorly trained, fed, and armed men aren't going to win wars against a properly outfitted force. The "Human wave" idea stopped working many years ago. For the Scots at Culloden, for the Chinese in the Korean War. Having determination and will to win is important but in and of itself will not transform a poorly fed and shod, poorly armed, and underequipped army into a victorious force, Mein Kampf not withstanding!"
