The other great blunder is challenging a Sicilian in a game of life and death.

We kicked the living crap out of the North Vietnamese Army and would have chased them all the way to Hanoi but that we were undermined by duplicitous democrats who cut off funding for further operations.

An article that begins with a doctored quote is not convincing.

Good thing for Tamerlane, Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, the British East India Company, etc., etc. that they did not rely on The Princess Bride as a guide to military strategy.

I have never heard a good explanation as to why the Son Tay camp was empty when we raided it and tried to rescue the POWs.

I don’t think they knew exactly what we were up to or they would have been waiting for us. On the other hand they did have a bunch of troops in barracks near there.

Probably the real adage should be “Don’t fight a war in which you don’t intend to win”.

The author left out the Fast & Furious conspiracy. Lots of people have been leaving it out of lots of "analyses."

History won't.

Saw a show on the History Channel about the Flying Tigers. Reminded me that when General Chennault took over not one person in the entire Chinese military understood military strategy. I think about that every time I see anything about a nation’s traditions.

We have already fought three wars in Asia.One with the Japanese throughout the Western Pacific,Number 2 in Korea,#3 Vietnam.The first War we won because we had Leadership and the will to win at all cost.

The others we attempted to Fight on the cheap with Poor leadership,Mostly Political Leadership.Though there were some Legit reasons that our politicians feared expanding the war among the other Communist powers,China and the Soviet Union.

Your writing a check your body can't cash?

The phrase is:

Your mouth is writing a check that your ass can't cash.
