Pakistani internal security (catch all)

[William F. Owen]

Querry: How deep into the leadership chain at the Pentagon would you have to cut in order to have a negative effect on US military operations?
1 deep?
10?
100?
1000?

Perhaps a better comparison is how many of a deployed SF A-TEAM would you have to kill for them to loose their effectiveness.

Killing enemy leaders works. It may not be highly effective, but I cannot think of any good reason to pass up the opportunity. Also from an intelligence perspective identifying and tracking enemy leaderships, usually brings a host full of other goodies.
