My Comment: Air power, sea power, and in the future ... ground forces .... it appears inevitable that much of this "power" will be robotic, controlled from command centers and far away bases.
On the one hand this will make wars very lethal against forces that do not have this technological edge. On the other hand, organizations or countries that do not have this power will probably be very reluctant to fight a battle against a foe that has this technological edge.
