You've convinced me.

No, seriously. That was a surprisingly lucid post. Not one hahahahaha.

I'm not ready to pass judgement on how the war is being run yet, but yeah it shouldn't have been a surprise. It was supposed to be a big part of why we went over there.

And spec ops is pretty handy in isolated situations, but you still need enough tanks and enough guys holding weapons.

I mean, geez, even in Starcraft or C&C you lose if you try to climb the tech tree too quickly. You gotta have marines on the ground or their "weak" units will destroy you. You'd think the military's wargames would include something along those lines.

Maybe they have a better idea of what's going on, but they certainly should have been expecting anything and everything. Mistake: underestimating how dirty your opponent will fight.
