Today's American military can't shoot and lack basic combat skills.

You obviously haven't spent much time recently at either Edson Range or Parris Island.

When I read of taliban throwing rocks at our military and our neding to call in air strikes to deal with it, it tells me what I need to know. Were it me, about the second time some jackass bent over to pick up a rock, he's have a new 30 caliber asshole. In the accounts of the middle east operation consistently show lack of tactical and marksmanship ability.
