I have mixed feelings about this. The military is definitely bloated, and all branches could use some pruning. On the other hand, I'm not convinced of the effectiveness of high-tech weaponry (at the expense of overwhelming numbers) is in an urban warfare setting when there is probability of collateral damage. It would be nice if all wars could be fought using drones directed by a guy sitting at his computer in Tampa, but we are not there yet.
