I agree. That's pretty much what I've said earlier -- but, in the end, it still takes ground troops to take and occupy territory. Airplanes and missles and ships can't do that.

But I don't see huge "set piece" battles like the World Wars or even Desert Storm was supposed to turn into. At least I hope not.
