14. Come gather round people wherever you roam and admit that the waters around you have grown and accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you is worth savin‘ then you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone. For the times they are a changin. Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen. Keep your eyes open the chance won't come again. Watch what you say for the wheel's still in spin and there ain't no tellin' who that it's naming for the loser now will be later to win. For the times they are a changin. Come senators, congressmen please heed the call don't stand in the doorway don't block up the hall for he who gets hurt will be he who has stalled. The battle outside raging it'll rattle your windows and shake down your walls. For the times they are a changin. Come mothers and fathers throughout the land and don't criticize what you can't understand. Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command. Your old road is rapidly aging get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand. For the times they are a changin. The Time They Are a-Changin’ By Bob Dylan - 1964

15. Former NSA Brent Scowcroft: “the nature of power has been changing … We live in a time when conflict is now much more likely to be waged within states—particularly as a state collapses—or between a state and non-state actors. And the stresses the global system has been subjected to will only increase as larger portions of the developing world—especially Latin America, Africa and the vast interiors of the major Asian powers like China and India—become integrated into the global system.” 6/21/201615Source: NWC faculty

20. So What? We will continue to rebalance our military capabilities to excel at counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, stability operations, and meeting increasingly sophisticated security threats, while ensuring our force is ready to address full range of military operations. We are war with a specific network, al-Qaeda, and its terrorist affiliates who support efforts to attack the United States, our allies, and partners. (2010 NSS) The United States remains the world’s preeminent power, even as a growing number of state and non-state actors exhibit consequential influence. The intersection between states, state-sponsored, and non-state adversaries is most dangerous in the area of WMD proliferation and nuclear terrorism. (2011 NMS) CJTF-HOA works with Horn of Africa governments to build local and regional capacity, support professionalization of militaries, and assist other U.S. government agencies in helping partner nations diminish the underlying conditions that extremists seek to exploit. (AFRICOM Posture Statement) Contractors now make up as much as 30% of the armed force in Afghanistan, a just released congressional report shows. In the period roughly tracking President Obama’s first nine months in office, the number of Defense Department armed security contractors soared 236%. (Congressional Report dated Jan 19, 2010)
