Maps are a powerful weapon our Military does not Use Enough

The Afganistan War has been our longest ever, but we have no good maps of this Graveyard of Empires.

We are negotiating with the Taliban, a collection of warlords, each ruling over a small area, while having no idea, what each area is or where it is at.

We teach "Know the Enemy" in our military colleges We made detailed maps of every island we fought on in WWII. But bigger countries are still blank spaces on our maps.

Our map-making should be computerized. That way the view it makes possible could be made as large or small as desired. And access to it could be denied easily.
