An interesting question, IMO.

One of the most alarming visions of modern warfare, and one high on the Pentagon’s list of worries, is a catastrophic digital attack. For all we know, it could be heading for us right now.

Also, in this same vein, consider the use of drone warfare. Does technology depersonalize war and warfare to the point of becoming a video game? What implications does this have; does technology make it far to easy to "wage war"? Is it war at all? If so, then would not economic sanctions be a tactic in "economic war"? Aren't economic sanctions the modern equivalent of laying siege? Have we evolved to the point that the use of military force only one tool for waging war?
Just some questions that have been rattling around in the ol' noodle.
