这一章考虑了近年来进行替代性战争所产生的一些突出的战略后果。这一章揭示了其主要的行动表现，以供进一步审查，目的是揭示其核心动力，并更多地揭示这种形式的战争往往适得其反的战略后果，至少像美国最近所进行的那样。它首先介绍了克劳塞维茨的核心见解，这些见解可以帮助理解使用武力的政治动态，特别是当它们适用于替代性战争时。这有助于解释为什么明显的战术成就可以掩盖战略上的严重缺陷。然后，这一章转向概述这些动态是如何与授权、防危险和黑暗三个D相关的，这三个D被用作当代美国替代战争特征的一些核心实践的速记描述符。
This chapter considers some of the prominent strategic consequences arising from the prosecution of vicarious warfare over recent times. The chapter reveals its principal operational manifestations to further scrutiny with the aim of uncovering its central dynamics and shedding greater light on the often counterproductive strategic consequences of this form of war, at least as it has been conducted by the United States over recent times. It begins by presenting core Clausewitzian insights that can aid appreciation of the political dynamics underlying the use of force, and specifically as they apply to vicarious warfare. This helps explain how apparent tactical gains can shroud serious deficiencies in strategic terms. The chapter then shifts to outline how these dynamics play out in relation to three 'Ds' of delegation, danger-proofing and darkness, which are employed as short-hand descriptors for some of the central practices that have characterized contemporary US vicarious warfare.
