I hadn't realized the Generals took out the SF....That makes no sense.... WHY? I'm certainly not doubting you, but simply asking why? Was that a military decision, or a political one?

It was also working beautifully in Afghanistan before the conventional generals got there and started screwing things up. It also worked in Northern Iraq until SF was replaced there by conventional troops.

And one more question....For every fighting soldier we have in theater, how many others does it take to support him/her? And I am assuming these numbers are included in the total fighting strength of our soldiers....right?

If for instance, the ratio is 1 soldier with 3 others to support...then out of 100,000, we would really have only 25,000 to do the fighting ...??
