War Without End & Now ... The Permanent Soldier

The basic activity of this brain region is considered to be
orchestration of thoughts and actions in accordance with internal
goals.
The most typical neurologic term for functions carried out by the pre-
frontal cortex area is Executive Function. Executive Function relates
to abilities to differentiate among conflicting thoughts, determine
good and bad, better and best, same and different, future consequences
of current activities, working toward a defined goal, prediction of
outcomes, expectation based on actions, and social "control" (the
ability to suppress urges that, if not suppressed, could lead to
socially unacceptable outcomes).
Many authors have indicated an integral link between a person's
personality and the functions of the prefrontal cortex. (Wikipedia)
By Rowan Wolf
George Bush told us that the "War on Terrorism" would be a
"generational" war. It seems clear that means "war without end" which
brings to mind George Orwell's 1984. (Of course, there are a lot of
things about the Bush cabal that brings that makes Orwell's book look
down right prophetic.) To fight the war without end would normally
take a very large fighting force, but long before Rumsfeld's lean,
mean, high tech vision, the Pentagon has been deeply involved in
creating future "warfighters."
