Finally:  making that point in no way implies that Gautam thinks other
nation's soldiers are casually expendable as human beings or that they
should be spent carelessly, which is what "cannon fodder" implies.

Thanks Marvin.  In fact, I'm implying the exact opposite of that.  I'm
arguing (and this is exactly what happened in the Kosovo operation) that the
highest risk operations will have to be done by American soldiers - that
allied forces essentially have to be kept out of the most intense combat
both for their own and our protection.
