You're right. That's why I posted this.
"I don't think that many people who post on FR understand that we have a lot of countermeasures against IEDs."
Best countermeasure is still a well-armed, trained infantry-man (or is it infantryperson now?), available in numbers large enough to ensure a higher level of security by their mere presance.
What? You mean we don't have enough of those in the inventory? My bad...
While I'm sure the JSTARS has some utility in this regard, I'd feel better about it if we had some more boots on the gorund.
