Joining this one late.
The US has far less troops than the days of the GW live fire. During the clinton years we dropped whole divisions from the Army. Not including USMC MEU's, the ground forces of the US is only 10 Divisions. That is just enough to work a six month deployment somewhere in the world every other freakin year. And not enough to fight a two tier combat exercise, while conducting peace and stability operations in, KFOR, SFOR, AFGANFOR, KuwaitFOR, Korea, and homeland security.
Lop sided advantage in tech??? Think of the days of the great war monger-Patton. He had the smaller force, the not so advanced tech, and took a bite out of their butts. He learned to fight against both a superior force, and superior equipment. Yes we have the better equipment. But, will we be supplied on time, Ol Sarge always taught me. Keep em filled with "Beans, Bullets, and Fuel" and they will take the objective.
