I believe that special forces and the like were sent to take care of the actual job. The troops are for morale and appearances.

no the airborne and marines that have fought over there are not there for show.these soldiers are very good at what they do.which is why they get sent to hot spots first.

My take? I am not sure I agree with what action is being taken, but they didn't ask me. I would have made it covert. Other than that....

most of this kind of fighting can be done by small groups of special ops personel.but there is still going to be a need for large numbers of infantry.and we need to remember that we aren't the only people fighting.the uk has the sas and royal marines fighting in afganistan,and canada has soldiers there as well.
