I know what you're saying, I'm just saying make sure you make war for righteous reasons then this is all moot.
If you're going to put boots on the ground and do the regime-change dance, then you're there to stop insurgency. Not being 'geared' for it is further proof of poor leadership from Washington.
During the Revolutionary war, our patriots (insurgents) also used the citizenry for cover.
I have major problems with any military action where non-combatant deaths out-number the combatant's deaths.
