Just an observation here:

For the last five years the Georgian army has been involved in killing the Islamists that used to kill Russians wholesale in Chechnya. I’m willing to bet the Georgians (the ones who have rotated through the Sandbox) are probably very nearly as “spun up” as are most American line units.

I personally don’t see a lot of return on inserting SpecOps in this situation. This isn’t insurgency, and it would be better that the world saw advance party/pathfinders from on of the Airborne or even better Infantry divisions popping up in Georgia rather than Teams.

We must tell the world that our friends have been attacked. Then tell the Georgians that America is coming.
