War has not changed despite advances in technology. Major military powers have failed to disconnect from war's enduring nature by relying on high-tech weaponry. This approach leads to slow, indecisive wars. Trying to replace chance in war with information systems and passion with long-range weapons does not lead to victory. The use of drone and air strikes in US policy is criticized for seeking a "bloodless" war. New technologies have altered warfare but do not change the core truths of war. Connectivity provides new tools for persuasion, shaping perceptions and beliefs, but does not change the fundamental aspects of war.
