Great post by Glenn, column by Galloway, and subsequent thread. Since we've largely moved along, a couple quick notes:
1. I'm pretty sure Van Riper was retired in 2002, so no need to worry about retaliation. The guy was a professional pain the ass in the Marines, but very no-BS. The game organizers had to know what was coming when they invited him to 'blue'.
2. The ironic thing about this is that the gamers were pissed when Van Riper did exactly the kind of adaptive and flexible thing that the whole 'network-centric' force is supposed to be able to do, after all the billions. Never mind the enemy!
