Do RP members think that the Army is making a mistake by deactivating it's long term recon units in favor of high tech alternatives? I, for one, am in favor of eyes-on-target. Tech can only provide you with a flat perspective where actual troops can detail a richer AO environment.

Agreed. When will we realize that HUMINT/Reconnaissance through 19D-Scouts/13F-FO's and the entire 18 series is a crucial component in understanding and comprehending the theater of operations.
Tactics is what you employ WHEN there is something to do;
Strategy is what you do PRIOR to something to do.

Hey, remember when that General Officer said we don't need track vehicles anymore? Yeah, the damn GIF (good idea fairy) flying around some desk jockey's cubicle. Whenever the military believes that tech can replace the human element I get concerned. These ideas generally come from someone who is deeply involved in tech and has very little human interface.
