which inspired this thought:

JUST AS warfare was revolutionised first through the creation of mixed units of musketeers and pikemen, and then through conflating even those two specialisations into one: the musketeer with a bayonet on the end of his musket;

SO war will be revolutionised through the combination and then conflation of the soldier and the aid worker. Soon, all soldiers will be aid workers and all aid workers soldiers.
