No mention of air power aside from delivering nukes. Land power SOP has always been control the high ground; seapower shifted to high ground airpower decades ago. Controlling the high ground makes it easier (a relative term) for the ground forces to achieve the military goal. Whats that about drones?
It might be said that while GI Ivan was the force that destroyed Nazi Germany, it was US industry and FDR that got them there. Did FDR feed Stalin's ego on USSR ability in troop commitment? Whats that Patton quote? "Your duty is to make the other poor bastard die for his country"? FDR certainly had that idea in hand.
