Re: Take a lesson from railways
"When that happens while you're fighting, you're so distracted trying to figure out what each control does and what the displays mean that you don't notice the caveman coming up behind you with a rock and bash your head in."
When I see stories about "modern battlefield systems", I recall Starship Troopers and Ian Malcolm. Lots of analysis of the Vietnam war showed how the VC gained a huge advantage by being lightly equipped over US soldiers lugging loads of stuff all over the place. It wasn't universal across the whole theatre, but a lesson to keep in mind.
