8 pages in length. Examining both the subtle and blatant differences between the role of military power in twenty-first-century crisis management and that of the Cold War and 1990s finds tremendously gapping holes where the concept of vulnerability is concerned. The duality of censorship and public information has reached an apex of integration where contemporary military power is concerned, often going so far as to influence the manner by which the decision-making process transpires; issues of prevention are approached; escalation, de-escalation and termination options are determined; as well as how the entire foundation of structures and processes are applied from what has now become a highly publicized spectacle rather than the covert operation it has historically been. In the case of Cold War, however, technology of another sort was providing a strength of character and fortitude that ultimately enabled Reagan and the military to engage in the Strategic Defense Initiative.

provided the privacy or secrecy once inherent to making critical decisions concerning life-or-death situations; rather, modern technology has given birth to an all-seeing, all-hearing media leech that hovers over some
of the most vital - yet dangerous - decision-making processes, broadcasting to the world their findings and all but jeopardizing one of the only hidden tactics available to otherwise successful
military operations. "Political and military decision-makers have to take this into account as a relevant factor for their decisions. It is also clear that decision makers will try
