Put simply, militaries and their civilian leaders must believe there is something worse than change. They must believe that change is the lesser evil, and that a failure to change will realistically produce catastrophic, near-term consequences, such as the loss of a major war. Ultimately, this is the deeper reason why America has been so badly ambushed by the future. For far too long, we have not truly believed there is something worse than change. We simply could not imagine it.
