“Boots on the Ground”is the term for committing ground troops to a conventional war in a given place. “Boats on the ground” sounds like landing-craft or some other image:
Once we have boats on the ground (as I’m sure we will, unfortunately)
The strategy that McChrystal is employing is classic counter-insurgency and that is a more ground-centric approach, more boats on the ground.
hahah it is the americans war, and in a way the brits and the france. why the heck should we putt our boats on the ground.
It is ironic that non of these Sunni Arab countries are willing to put boats on the ground to defeat ISIS
