I have a question as pertains to this thread. I must admit, though, in my haste to post between classes I did not read this entire discussion. However, from the thread’s development, I think that the following situation has not been addressed.
I am currently taking an upper level class entitled, in fact, “Globalization.” One of the theories suggested as the outcome of globalization termed “globality,” will be cultures that are very similar to every other culture. This is to say that the world would be, in effect, Americanized. Of course, there are skeptics who view this outcome as highly unlikely for various reasons.
However, for discussion’s sake, let’s consider that in the near future, the world does start to look drastically Western; languages begin to disappear, English is adopted more then it already is and values begin to mimic those more recognizable to Westerners.
What effect does this outcome have on the CMF of Special Forces? Surely, there would have to be drastic alterations made to a profession that prides itself on its unmatched knowledge of foreign cultures. If cultures stop being so foreign, how does SF continue to perform in ways “special;” that is to say, unconventional?
Any thoughts?
Thank you.
