I have a strong suspicion that you are right. I have thought all along that winning the peace is going to be the real war and we will definitely lose some people in the effort. As I stated before the street to street will not be fought in the old way. Our helicopter gunships, AC-130 gunships and other weapons platforms will be on point not the Infantry.
