Again, I simply don't like telling our guys to walk through a door to a target that somebody else can reduce relatively safely. You know as well as I do it's not so they can look macho to the jihadis, it's so the jihadis don't get maaaad at us for blowing up their hovels. I'm not talking strategy here, I'm not talking about reducing our boots on the ground in any way, I'm simply discussing what the best tactical means of neutralizing a given city block is.
Not to pick a fight, but I would not want to tell some MANCHUs that they were not going to be allowed to kick ass. They would be highly pissed.
