"....the United States has put its Armed Forces in the control of utterly incompetent strategists -- a bunch of essential "bad shots" who do not know the difference between military skill and mere firepower, who shoot at mosquitos with machine guns, who liberate countries by destroying their territories, whose principal weapon is no weapon at all

Ever read Cryptonomicon?

"Shaftoe, you marines have been getting slaughtered because they are being placed under the command of naval officers who know nothing about invading an island other than shelling it and are more than willing to let someone else catch the bullets for them." (or something like that) - MacArthur
