Ground troops kicking @$$ is the only way to get the attention, respect, and fear of the bad guys in this world.
Abso-freakin'-lutely. The Taliban made a bad assumption. They figured that they could ride-out the air raids and be safe because the US would not risk casualties by putting ground forces into harm's way. Wrong!! Our ground forces right now are punishing the Taliban through the use of maximum surprise and shock force, which is the way it ought to be.
