There is an old saying, "amateurs discuss tactics and strategy, while professionals talk logistics." Think of it this way: How can the pilot of a F/A-18E Super Hornet be expected to blow an enemy MiG out of the sky if his radar doesn't work?

Chip I am going to rant, in agreement, a bit. In a Special Forces Group we have lots of jobs in addition to the knuckle dragging barbarians on the teams. The team guys cant do their jobs if they don't have a little support.
I would send my teams deep into bad guy land and would send a cook, mechanic, or whatever with them. It worked out both great. The support guy got to go out to bad guy land and work with a team, the team got an extra set of hands. When the mission was over they appreciated each other much more. In many times they became friends, which is cool

...I would routinely ask my support guys who wanted to go out to a team, if I could spare them and a team needed them, I'd send 'em

I was plenty happy being a Outboard Tacintel Man with My Nice Rack and Warm Chow ready and waiting.

Yeah, I've also heard tat phrase, actually...there was this really famous quote during WW2, some general said, about something Gen !Marshall had said, "I don't know what this logistics thing is he keeps talking about app the time is, but I want some,' or dome Hong like that...I forget who said it now, I do recall it, though....
