Unless you want to change the style of the game, what is your point? Aside from trying to make a remark that only shows your lack of thought in the subject?
Shepard isn't going to scratch the paint on any of the reapers with his pathethic handweapons, so your claim of "war" containing "war" is kinda odd since I predict we will see very little actual WAR, and just a strung out series of skirmishes where less than a handfull of peeps will run around and gun stuff down (Shepard and 2 companions).
Is that your idea of War?
War is massive, and is about fielding ARMIES and ARMADAS against the opposing forces. There's nothing warlike about 3 peeps running around and gunning stuff. Quite the opposite, actually. If you want war, you will need to fire up a simulatorgame or tactical game.
Claiming skirmishes are a war makes you come of as having no clues at what a supposedly "galactic war" really means.
If anything, Shepard TALKING alot would actually be closer to bringing about how to deal with a war, since war is about combined efforts, and in order to be able to combine anything you need to... communicate... Shocking, I know... 
Gathering large armies on the ground or near the planet's surface is just stupid. Why? Orbital bombardment or bombardment from the safe side of the solar system. I think the Reapers are more than capable of that.
Plus, it's been proven that a small strike force can accomplish what an army couldn't.
Wars don't need to have massive armies a la Lord of the Rings to be classified as such either.
First off, a galactic war in the sense of what Me universe is facing with the reapers makes ground troops meaningless as in a means to achieve victory. Only thing you cna hope for with groundtroops, is to protect against their ground troops. You're not going to actually take down reapers with ground troops alone anyway.
The problem that bioware is facing, is that reapers are something you basicly need to fight in space, with large spaceships and fleets of spaceships, yet the only gameplay the series has been about is to control a spec-operative and 2 of his/her companions. Claiming you can tie 2 aspects together that are so different in a meaningfull "war story" is borderline asinine. But I guess it fits with the rest of how their marketing have turned out to be after the DA2 flop.
Second, your link is irrelevant. Unless you plan to have shepard and his squad stealthly board each and every reaper that are attacking the ME universe, what exactly do you hope to acomplish with that link? Some quotes to put things into perspective:
Nazara said:
"We are legion. The time of our return is coming. Our numbers will darken the sky of every world.
"
"My kind transcends your very understanding. We are each a nation -
independent, free of all weakness. You cannot grasp the nature of our
existence."
Do you think the reapers will quit attacking if a squad manages to get past a reapers defenses and blow it up from within? Hardly.
Put things in perspective, and perspective makes small squad operations practically meaningless in the scale of a galactic war.
