We Still Need the Big Guns

[J Wolfsberger]

Competent conventional (multi-purpose) forces are critical. I haven't heard anyone argue otherwise. To be clear on the predominant USAF perspective, no future enemy will be so accomodating as to line up all their tanks in a populationless environment ever again, and if they do, we don't need ground forces to deal with them.

We definitely need concentional heavy forces to man the next equivalent of the Fulda Gap.

To reinforce your point, the Army is working on Heavy Brigade Combat Teams as well as Stryker Brigade Combat Teams. The improvement is that adding the ability to conduct COIN ops gave us full spectrum capability.

There's always the option of getting people like Stan to antagonize the Russians enough to start Cold War II.

And how do you know he isn't already?
