So, Drake, would you say that an NCO who has been in a guerrilla war is less effective fighting conventionally than an NCO who has spent the past ten years in Ft. Hood? I don't dispute that an army that has experience fighting conventionally will do so better than an army that has spent time fighting irregular warfare. I'm wondering if the actual real world experience of dealing with IED threats and being harassed by bushwackers is less applicable to modern warfare than traditional training methods.
