LESSONS OF HISTORY TO BE RE-LEARNED
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2006, Vol 19, Issue 2
Abstract
Currently, the strategic environment is dominated by information so that most of our knowledge needs to be revised in order to update them. Lessons learned express continuity with our history and the ability to use others’ experience in order to rapidly advance in accumulating knowledge and improving our skills. But lessons learned also have to be revised and updated in order to fir the requirements of future challenges of the strategic environment. Some lessons, considered already learned, has to be revised and updated because they have been partly forgotten or not well understood and applied from the very beginning. It seems that we have forgotten that the most probable answer for violence is violence and that enemy is no longer separated from our own troops, it is amongst us and sometimes from our side. Democracy compels us to give the others a chance to have different opinion than ours without being considered enemy.
