What I'm talking about is when we get into an industrial nation war, 
where the other side is well trained, well supplied, and has similar 
logistical capability.  It would be amazingly foolish to assume it won't 
ever happen.

I'm talking about meeting an army with the training, discipline, and 
logistics of Germany in WWII.  Something like that.

What you are talking about is our current crop of dismally trained 
enemies.

What gains you respect on the battlefield, and ironically in politics, 
is a personal ass kicking.

The US soldier (and those of some of our allies) are very good at this, 
and that is what wins battles for us.

Technology helps, but we'll fade away if we ever replace good soldiers 
with it.
