Right. The idea that Americans can only fight from the air ignores the fact that we might not want to put troops on the ground. But when we do, they clean up pretty well. Brigade vs brigade, there's not many in the world who can stand toe-to-toe.
And yes, we will call in air support. Fuck around and find out.
