Is There a Different Mentality in a Conventional Military?

In a conventional military you man the equipment, because it's the equipment that does the heavy fighting. In a soft unit, you equip the man, because the man is the weapon system to be employed in very niche, very special applications. The united states was defeated by an enemy that was largely illiterate, untrained, using weapons that had been designed 70 years earlier. And they defeated all the billions of dollars of techna wizardry. Do you think we're going back there? I don't know. I hope we never go back there.
