America LOST to Iraq in Pentagon wargame

quoter Johnson argues that the lessons taught by the wargame and by the situation the US military finds itself in are the same. "What we need is more stuff for the soldier on the ground," he said. "Cruise missiles are interesting, but they don't go and knock on doors. They tend to blow up the whole building."

Marcus Corbin, an analyst at the Centre for Defence Information in Washington, argues that RMA still does not meet the new realities. "What is important now is how good is your human intelligence, and how good are your diplomatic relations with neighbouring countries so you can base operations on their soil," Mr Corbin said. "RMA is nice but when it comes to a question of priorities, Bin Laden has shown the RMA is still going in the wrong direction."
