Ted Talks
I have to first off say that i don't keep up with the news. In addition to that I do not know much about the military as in how things have changed and how they operate on the inside. I personally liked the presentation by Thomas Barnett. In the lack for words I have to say it was very entertaining. His views are very new to me but I can see were he was coming from. I think the military would be much better off if they took a little advise from him and made some inside changes. Now I have to admit most of what he said didn't mean a whole lot to me. The one thing that did stick out was about having the marines not handing out aid they should be ready to go in and kill. I think he is right. Shouldn't other country fear the marines. I sure seeing pictures of them handing out aid to people doesn't invoke fear in anyone.

I agree that there should potential aspects of or armed forces whose primary purpose is to go in and kick butt however; There definitely needs to be other forces involved after the kick ass part is over, meaning that "peacekeepers" should be just as involved in dealing with the aftermath of helping the people left behind, helping them to learn how to form, operate and maintain a functional government.
