If the
military is used the way it is supposed to be used, and not for nation
building or law enforcement, the technology advantage enjoyed by the US
military more than makes up for numbers.

If.

What happens when we use the military for nation building and law enforcement,
as we are at the present time? Unless this changes in the future- and it won't
for the next four years, we lose the advantage of our technologies. Our most
effective technologies were designed to defeat sophisticated weapons systems
rather than individual criminal terrorist *******s hiding among a population of
innocents.
