But what astonishes me is that here and in another forum a couple of days ago the people focused so much on the rooftop landing stuff and largely ignored the assertion that division-sized air assaults are quite illusionary.
Touche. Let's discuss that then. The Brts recently scaled back their parachute training regimen, and on another board it was discussed at length pro and con. I'll concede that the conditions have to be just about perfect for a large scale assault, across a wide specturm of threat environment, mission, logistics, etc., but it is still one of the quickest ways to put a lot of firepower on the ground in a short period of time.
