I would prefer you stand up two more infantry battalions, which I would imagine could be done for a lot less money.

    More SOF is not the answer to what ails us in either Afghanistan or Iraq. SOF should remain an ARSOC, AFSOC, SEAL community.
    More SOF is not the answer? Is two more infantry battalions the answer? I disagree most wholeheartedly that more SOF is not what is needed. Hearts & Minds are needed, and SOF is the key to H&Ms.
