ABSTRACT
Arguably, the elements and dynamics for the decline of the United States are already in play. One the greatest attributes of humanity is its ability to change, to adapt, to overcome culturally imbued practices. Overreliance on technology, while a cultural norm, is damaging the ability of the United States to achieve its political objectives, and is threatening national security. Technology can augment, expand, and enhance the capabilities of man, but, it cannot replace man. War is ultimately a human endeavor.
