Hi again, Mr. Cornwell. Here I must ask you to speculate a bit. What, in your opinion, would Sharpe think of modern warfare, soldiers with night and thermal vision goggles, assault rifles that fire 30 rounds before reloading, tanks with 120 mm main guns and 4 inches of armor, attack helicopters with mini-guns and rocket pods, unmanned killer drones, stealth fighters and bombers flying at Mach 2, sniper rifles that kill at a mile’s range, aircraft carriers the size of small towns, and ballistic missile submarines with enough firepower to destroy whole countries? What would he like most? What would he like least? Alan Kempner
