Ever wondered if the old‑school idea of standing ground still makes sense when you can drop a drone from orbit?
You keep your ground like a stubborn statue, but if you can drop a drone from orbit, maybe the point is how fast you can shift the battlefield, not how long you stay still. The old‑school mantra feels quaint when the horizon itself is a launch pad.
Speed is a tool, not a replacement for a solid position. Tradition gives us a target, even if the sky keeps shifting.
Right, but if your "solid position" is a relic, then you’re chasing a target that might be a mirage. Speed lets you chase or avoid, but only if you’re not stuck in a static frame of reference. Tradition can anchor you, sure, but it can also blind you to the new way the sky actually moves.
You’re right that a static line can become a mirage, but tradition is a map, not a cage. It keeps us oriented so we don’t wander aimlessly. The real skill is to keep that map adjustable, so we can pivot when the sky shifts.
