Critical Reasoning

Army General: Military experts have learned that positions held by units of up to 40 soldiers can now be held by only two soldiers equipped with new, superautomatic, maximum-velocity weapons. Likewise, larger areas can be held by remarkably few soldiers provided with, and trained in the use of, new triangulating cannons and short-distance rockets. Many of the features of warfare that have so far required hand-to-hand combat by large numbers of soldiers may well be pursued by small numbers of laser technicians at great distances. Upcoming research and testing should indicate how much progress we have to look forward to.

The information above best supports which of the following conclusions?

A)Future soldiers may need considerably more training than the already lengthy and expensive training now given.
B)It is likely that, in the near future, wars can be fought without danger to humans.
C) There is increasing interest in superiority of weaponry and firepower in relation to prior interest in superiority of
manpower.
D)The increased budget necessary for such research is clearly worthwhile and should be appropriated.
E)Military experts are becoming more interested in our soldiers' holding strategic weapons than in their holding strategic
positions.

[spoiler]
This is a simple problem, however I was confused between C and E. C is correct.
"holding strategic positions" is not mentioned in the stimulus "superiority of manpower" indicated by hand-to-hand combat . [/spoiler]
