How does this fit in with 4G warfare?

Big talk from DoD about retooling the army to fight 4th generation warfare, briefing papers advocating strike teams ready to defend anywhere in the US, Iraq and Afghanistan guerilla wars, how much help would this really be?

(Washington, D.C., August 3, 2005) - The Bush Administration appears poised to resume the production of antipersonnel mines, Human Rights Watch said today in a new briefing paper. The United States, which has not manufactured antipersonnel mines since 1997, will make a decision in December whether to begin production of a new antipersonnel mine called Spider. The Pentagon has requested a total of $1.3 billion for development and production activities for another new antipersonnel mine called the Intelligent Munitions System, with a full production decision expected in 2008.

Land mines generally kill civilians. Tell me again about hearts and minds.
