The numbers are inexact, but recent experience suggests that Army and Marine ratios are at about six to one when engaging an enemy with help from artillery and air power. They compress to about parity when the enemy is able to draw our soldiers into the close fight in places like Fallujah.>/I>

I wonder a bit about these numbers. They may make the general's point better, but I believe we are doing better than that.

IIRC, in Fallujah the enemy lost something like 1,500 dead and we lost about 70. Hardly parity.
