Henry Wager Halleck (January 16, 1815 – January 9, 1872) was a United States Army officer, scholar, and lawyer. A noted expert in military studies, he was known by a nickname that became derogatory, "Old Brains." He was an important participant in the admission of California as a state and became a successful lawyer and land developer. Early in the American Civil War, he was a senior Union Army commander in the Western Theater and then served for almost two years as general-in-chief of all U.S. armies. Halleck became chief of staff to Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, when he assumed the position of general-in-chief. [mehr]

Halleck became chief of staff to Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, when he assumed the position of general-in-chief. Halleck was a cautious general who believed strongly in thorough preparations for battle and in the value of defensive fortifications over quick, aggressive action. He was a master of administration, logistics, and the politics necessary at the top of the military hierarchy, but exerted little effective control over field operations from his post in Washington, D.C. President Abraham Lincoln once described him as "little more than a first rate clerk."[ [mehr]

Military science is the theory, method, and practice of producing military capability in a manner consistent with national defense policy.[citation needed] Military science serves to identify the strategic, political, economic, psychological, social, operational, technological, and tactical elements necessary to sustain relative advantage of military force; and to increase the likelihood and favorable outcomes of victory in peace or during a war. Military scientists include theorists, researchers, experimental scientists, applied scientists, designers, engineers, test technicians, and other military personnel. [mehr]

Our Distance From The Old World, And The Favorable Circumstances In Which We Have Been Placed With Respect To The Other Nations Of The New World, Have Made It So Easy For Our Government To Adhere To A Pacific Policy, That, In The Sixty-Two Years That Have Elapsed Since The Acknowledgment Of Our National Independence, We Have Enjoyed More Than Fifty-Eight Of General Peace; Our Indian Border Wars Have Been Too Limited And Local In Their Character To Seriously Affect The Other Parts Of The Country, Or To Disturb The General Conditions Of Peace.

Our Distance From The Old World, And The Favorable Circumstances In Which We Have Been Placed With Respect To The Other Nations Of The New World, Have Made It So Easy For Our Government To Adhere To A Pacific Policy, That, In The Sixty-Two Years That Have Elapsed Since The Acknowledgment Of Our National Independence, We Have Enjoyed More Than Fifty-Eight Of General Peace; Our Indian Border Wars Have Been Too Limited And Local In Their Character To Seriously Affect The Other Parts Of The Country, Or To Disturb The General Conditions Of Peace. This Fortunate State Of Things Has Done Much To Diffuse Knowledge, Promote Commerce, Agriculture, And Manufactures; In Fine, To Increase The Greatness Of The Nation And The Happiness Of The Individual. Under These Circumstances Our People Have Grown Up With Habits And Dispositions Essentially Pacific, And It Is To Be Hoped That These Feelings May Not Soon Be Changed. But In All Communities Opinions Sometimes Run Into Extremes; And There Are Not A Few Among Us Who, Dazzled By The Beneficial Results Of A Long Peace, Have Adopted The Opinion That War In Any Case Is Not Only Useless, But Actually Immoral; Nay, More, That To Engage In War Is Wicked In The Highest Degree, And Even _Brutish_.

„Ihr verfluchten Racker, wollt ihr denn ewig leben?“, schrie Friedrich der Große 1757 während der Schlacht bei Kolin, als Preußen gegen Österreich verlor, seinen fliehenden Soldaten im Zorn zu. Sie hätten zurück rufen sollen: „Warum sterben?“ Friedrich hat perfekt zusammengefasst, was die Obrigkeit über das Leben des Pöbels denkt. Heute lachen wir darüber. Dabei sollten wir über uns lachen. Denn wir könnten schon lange sehr viel länger, wenn nicht ewig leben. Das ist keine Esoterik, keine Religion. Es ist Technik. Und die Nennt sich Transhumanismus. Transhumanismus ist der Inbegriff des Fortschritts. Es bedeutet, dass der Mensch sich mit Technik verbessern will. So, wie schon seit dem Knochenhammer. Nur im Zeitalter von Roboterarmen und Nach dem Tod einfrieren eine Nummer größer. Abgedreht aber wahr: Wir sind schon auf dem halben Weg zur technischen Unsterblichkeit oder zum Terminator. Ein Skandal – wie es Fortschritt immer war. Von den Arbeitern der englischen Industrialisierung bis zu dem internetaffinen Piraten: Jede neue soziale Bewegung wird zum Untergang der Zivilisation erklärt, jede Technik für unmöglich bis tödlich gehalten. In der menschlichen Geschichte ist nichts konstanter als die Veränderung – und die nackte Angst vor ihr. Schon der technische Fortschritt lässt besonders bei Macht- und Würdenträgern Panik ausbrechen. Menschen denken in Gruppen: Neu ist erst mal das andere: „We don't know em we don't wanna know em. They're the fucking enemy.“i Die Technikgeschichte ist über weite Strecken ihre eigene Parodie. Wieso ist das so wichtig? Wieso lässt man die Unambitionierten nicht meckern und sterben? In Zeiten von Futures und Kreditausfallversicherungsderivaten ist die Vergangenheit sowieso was für Verlierer? Leider nicht. „Wer die Vergangenheit beherrscht, beherrscht die Zukunft; wer die Gegenwart beherrscht, beherrscht die Vergangenheit.“, sagte der visionäre Paranoiker George Orwell. Wenn Boko Haram („Westliche Bildung ist Sünde“) in Nigeria Lehrbücher verbrennen, nehmen sie einer Generation nicht nur die Gegenwart, sondern die Perspektive auf die Zukunft. Wenn italienische Neomaschinenstürmer Briefbomben an die Wissenschaftler des Teilchenbeschleunigers Cern schicken, wollen sie die Geschichte zurück spulen. Und wenn Merkels Kader das erneuerbare Energiengesetz auf innovationsscheue Großbetriebe ummünzen, schalten sie unsere Entwicklung auf Rücklauf. Wem das alles gepflegt am Arsch vorbei geht, für den gibt es noch den Tod. Sich über Religion lustig zu machen ist wie ein totes Pferd ins Gesicht zu treten. Interessiert schon lange keinen mehr, der sich nicht längst aus dem Leben katapultiert hat. Trotzdem fehlt ein neuer Ansatz beim Tod bis jetzt. Systeme kollabieren nicht, weil sie unsinnig sind. Sie kollabieren erst, wenn eine sinnvolle Alternative sie ersetzt. Religion ist die neue Sowjetunion. Transhumanismus das neue Glasnost. Man muss sich nichts vormachen: Sterben muss man nicht mehr.
