Army not fit to fight GWoT?

Generals' Revolt - PBS Newshour, April 18, 2006

The second thing is we put an army on the battlefield that I had been a part of for 37 years. The truth of the matter is: It doesn't have any doctrine, nor was it educated and trained, to deal with an insurgency. And that insurgency challenged us, as I knew it would for that first year.

Now if only we had a ground force that has trained to deal with stability operations for the past 66 years.

Perhaps even Corps sized would be a little small if they had to shoulder the brunt of the Global War of Terror on their own, simply because the US Army couldn't be bothered to properly prepare for the post Cold War world.
