[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Yes, but that was more because the war was run by morons than anything. "Send in the troops and have them... do something!" Secondly, just what do you think would happen to a million man army with no effective air cover under unfriendly skies? Either it scatters, which given the terrain and our current level of technology wouldn't be nearly as effective as in Vietnam, or it dies that much faster. Yeah, if our objectives required ground troops to go in, they might face some opposition, but given the choice between 4:1 odds in on sides favor, and overwhelming arial and technological superiority in the other, I'd say the tech wins out, no? And under any circumstances, whether you need ground troops also depends on your definition of "win". If your objective is simply to remove their nukes and long-range missiles, you can do that with air strikes just fine, for the most part, even if you have to use tactical nukes to do it.
