What we've been doing in Afghanistan and, to a lesser extent in Iraq, is to get tighter integration between ground troops and air support. As in Special Forces unit creeps along, finds the bad guys, relays coordinates to nearby aircraft, which drops a precision bomb on the bad guys. Which seems to be how we got Z-man in Iraq a little while ago
I do not disagree. Do you agree that groundtroops are essential, both in locating the targets and mopping up the aftermath?
I don't want to sound crass about it, but the groundtroops make it all possible and are seldom recognized by ANY media for what they provide and sacrifice. "Star Wars" was a remarkable film, but it was a film. Our soldiers on the ground take the brunt of it. Always have and always will.
Not being argumantative, just wishing a little more attention be paid to the "grunts".
