Now the bad guys count grew exponentially, a truly big deal. <<....Various soldiers have had a lot of live round training>> ... yeup. The guys needed know not to sign up again. The guys not needed got trained for global operations, and know they are effectively invincible. <<....Potential opponents such as Libya, Syria, N.

You just do not see, think, and know, do you? <<Whether such achievements were worth the cost is not something I'm giving an answer to>> ... and here I thought you have an answer for everything.
