From the posted article:
"Whether it's Iraq or any enemy of the United States and its allies, I would tell you that we are so dominant in space that I pity a country that would come up against us," Blaisdell told reporters last week, referring to U.S.-controlled satellites used for space-based surveillance, navigation, communication and targeting.
"The synergy with air, land and sea forces, and our ability to control the battle space and seize the high ground is devastating," he added. "And so, many of [America's enemies], unfortunately, don't really understand how powerful we are."
It is exactly this reason IMO that small portable nuclear weapons will be the "soup de jour" in the military evolution of countries that feel themselves in peril. Warfare/Defence is definitely going to change. North Korea is probably on the leading edge, but early evolutionary stages, of this paradigm shift.
So, as you can see, Lindy Bill is not the only pre-emminent military voice around here.
