Right now, we are headed the way of the dodo, in the middle of a war against an insurgency. What sense does that make, and what does it tell you?

If you don't mind, why doesn't the Army like SF? Does it stem from a lack of understanding from those in command positions (they don't understand exactly what you do, so they don't see why you need to exist)?
Are SF units extraordinarily expensive to sustain (seen as not being cost effective by the Army)?
Have manpower shortages and the GWOT allowed (or forced) light infantry units to acquire some of the skills previously only seen in SF units, causing senior leadership to see SF as a -not as necessary- expenditure in the budget?
I'm not suggesting that any of the above are the case, just throwing out some guesses.
Take care,
Mike
