Turns out that the world wasn"t made for humans. Our intelligence will never solve the problem. Author is showing us that we are at the mercy. Insisting on living lives as if the problems were not there. Led to us declaring war on japan. If no rationing, nation is not aware that there is a war. Stop-loss people at the end of their contract (extend contract) People who are not trained pulled into military jobs. Fighting an enemy that does not wear a uniform. Why should you wear a uniform that will identify you as the enemy. Will never have a moment where we can say we won . Past version of war is gone, live in a world where combat will never end. Uncertainty - our apocalypse in 2017 is not the same as in 1950. To make sense of our own lives. To think about our place in the grand scheme.
