On the ground at the end of the day

Is anyone else besides me sick of the phrase on the ground? You know, troops on the ground in Iraq, or reporters on the ground in New Orleans. I mean, unless they're leaping into the air, or upstairs or something, isn't on the ground just three extra words that have no real meaning? Troops in Iraq; reporters in New Orleans. See?

First Runner Up: At the end of the day, blah blah blah. Which day? Last Tuesday? Whatever happened to when all is said and done, or even ultimately?

OK, I'm nitpicking. I annoy easily. So sue me.
