    Our issue is that we have lots of bombs and no stomach at all for boots on the ground. (The last part is a good thing in my book). Hard to be effective with our politics and MIC

      Boots on the ground is worthless without air superiority, your positions will just get bombed/shelled constantly. The US has been unable to achieve that without assistance like it had in Iraq.

      Small drones just make it that much harder since they can evade conventional anti-air defenses.
