This is the result of over a decade of feminizing the military and turning leading NCO's and CPO into social workers rather than leaders of a fighting force. The only thing that has saved our bacon thus far is that, for the most part, the serious fighting has been done by our most elite forces.

I thought the same thing after watching Blackhawk Down. All of our military ground forces that have gone into combat have been mostly special forces. The typical grunt might have a real problem in combat.
