and agree that if your concern is realized, it will be not only a waste of money but will add that it might also do more harm than good...

I do believe the principle, as stated, is sound and can provide a combination of more effective forces and considerably fewer psychological injuries to those forces if committed.

Here's hoping they do it right. Then we can study the results, state we do not need to do that; that is is inapplicable to the much larger US force; or that we cannot afford it -- until it becomes the idea of a US senior leader and then we'll do it. Regrettably, we'll initially screw it up as you fear but eventually, we'll perhaps, hopefully get it right...
