Well, the soldiers need to be well led too.
When a 4 star soldier who happen to have been the army chief of staff said before congress that a proper war in Iraq requires several hundred thousand soldiers on the ground for years, and an deputy secretary of defence without a single day's military service, to say nothing of having attended any general staff college, laughed condescendingly and said it was "wide of mark" before national television, you knew for certain we were going to lose this war.
