Ah, but not with the new strategy cooked up by the current Defense  
Secretary. All you really need are special forces troops and the air  
force. The ground troops are just cannon fodder that flush out the  
enemy, and it doesn't matter how or if they fight as long as the draw  
the enemy out in the open where they can be bombed. The special forces  
just get close enough to get bombing coordinates and call them in.

In any event its all part of the new US military strategy:
