Can US Still Fight a 'Big-battle' War?

McClatchy Newspapers

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - When Russian tanks bullied their way into Georgia, debate broke out about what the United States should do.

But what could America do?

Can the U.S. military, so consumed with small wars against terrorists and insurgencies abroad, wage a big war against a sizable adversary?

Those questions are drawing keen attention seven years after the Sept. 11 attacks, time that has seen America preoccupied with Iraq and Afghanistan. The Army and Marine Corps are retooling on the fly to fight a war against terrorists.

Those changes come, some worry, at the expense of the capability for full-blown, army-on-army war.
