Word games. Like I said, you suck at it.

Advisors, even intelligence and logistics support, is not the "boots on the ground" you want it to be. It just isn't use to mean that except maybe for conspiracy theorists. For example during Vietnam, it was widely known that the Soviets had advisors and even pilots flying some missions, especially towards the end of the war. Yet no one talked about Soviet boots on the ground. We had advisors in Vietnam before Johnson decided to double down and actually put boots on the ground.
