Blips of Globalization and Global aging is yet to paint on the radars of Military planners. The planners are grappling with the more direct problems like introduction of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in their art of warfare. Availability of Google and Microsoft the 3D images of any place on the Earth including the sensitive military installations will render many military moves redundant. Problems are mounting. Manpower crisis, no clearly defined enemy and nowhere to hide. How do you plan to fight the next war? Probably expectation in RMA will fall short well below the desired result. The advocates of Information Warfare go one step further by stating that the requirement of PGM etc. could be curtailed and human suffering will be lessened during a future war-a war that can be fought bloodlessly in cyberspace.

Long term planners need to watch out?
