More Military Advice

Tapped provides the government with some more much-needed military advice:

The U.S. military — and hopefully some of those in the Secretary of Defense’s office — is now learning what the Israelis already know, which is that armored vehicles and old-fashioned ground troops are still the essential weapons in urban combat. It’s not that the high-tech stuff isn’t useful. It is — under the right circumstances (like concentrating massive amounts of firepower on massed enemy forces rolling across a desert). But what what we need is neither a military based entirely on the Cold War force structure nor one consisting dependent on Special Forces and precision standoff weapons, but rather one able to quickly deploy the correct mix of forces for any given situation.

Actually, jerks, the military knew all along what was needed to fight door-to-door- they do practice it, you know. What you mean is that WE- the boneheads at TAPPED, are learning what it takes- that there is no easy solution. My favorite line is this, which I will repeat again for all its silliness:

But what what we need is neither a military based entirely on the Cold War force structure nor one consisting dependent on Special Forces and precision standoff weapons, but rather one able to quickly deploy the correct mix of forces for any given situation.

Didn’t Rumsfeld and Franks sort of just do that, dragging you and the other gloom and doom predictors all the way?

Please, go back to protesting judicial nominations or parsing the statements of the Democrat leadership to prove they are patriotic. Your military analysis is somewhat lacking.
