And the corrollary of that, would be that not much of how war was fought
in
WW2
would apply to today either.

Agreed. I am talking about what I know, those who fought later later
are
talking about what they knolw. Those who never fought are talking about
what?


Define "fought". Does that mean combat only? Does combat mean that you
are shooting, or have a post-strike recon pilot, an AWACS combat
controller in Desert Storm, a satellite watch officer in Colorado
Springs who gave real-time Scud warnings, a targeting specialist in the
US, etc. somehow don't know what they are talking about?

I literally don't know if Giulio Douhet or Alfred Thayer Mahan were ever
shot at or shot anyone other than, perhaps, a duck.
