He has a point in some areas. Combat jumps for example. They are largely unnecessary and to be honest, may be a relic of the past. Warfare has gotten advanced enough where putting troops on the ground via a C130 and parachute may be obsolete in most instances. Now, small insertions of Special forces may not be, but large scale 101st airborne ones may be. But they tend to do a lot higher altitude jumps of a different kind. It is like the Marine Corp who just disbanded their armored division and gave all the tanks to the Army. If an army can put a javelin in the hands of enough soldiers, are tanks really that effective anymore? Now this isn't to say all combat training it useless, but some may be. Some of those things we are doing may be relics of the past and no longer necessary. We seem to train like the next world war is going be just like World War 2, but I imagine the next world war will look a whole lot different.
