Shouldn't the administration be giving proper credit to "Boots on the Ground" in Libya?

The president and his ministers seem to be getting a lot of gratification from saying that there are no “boots on the ground” in Libya.
I know what they are trying to say-that mechanized divisions of Americans are not going to roll into Tripoli.

But the truth is, there ARE brave men on the ground pointing laser designators at targets for all the smart bombs and missiles that come off of our ships and planes. They are not civilians. They are SEALs or Delta. It is not like it is a secret. Even if Americans don’t think about it much, you can bet Col. Gadhafi knows they are there and would love find them. I probably know a couple of them and I think it would be nice if somebody would mention them. It is a lonely and scary job.

Shouldn’t the CINC and the SecDef be giving credit where credit is due?
