The problem about the “real video” is that you do not understand that in 1991, there were no GoPro cameras, satellites watching every battle, body cams, helmet cams, etc.

Men were too busy killing the enemy to provide new coverage for your video games or look good on CNN.

Any questions about McMaster, ask Fred Franks. I was called up but not forward for DS. I talked to men who were there when then LTG Franks returned to VIICorps Forward after seeing the aftermath of 73 Easting.

His comments to staff were; “Change your maps, Gentlemen. You have no idea what one Captain did with a few tanks, a few APCs, and a few men... but of course, he trained those men himself.”

Someone asked Franks about the Tawakalna (Division)? Franks answer: “Shot to shit by this captain with letters for a first name!”

Get over the BS spread by the NeverTrumpers. McMaster is 10 times the man you... or I.... will ever be.

First of all, I’m a girl.

Second of all, we were flying reconnaissance aircraft over Iraq all the time through the 90’s and there was significant satellite coverage.

The dearth of video or photographic evidence is... strange. Sorry.

I’ll PM you the rest.
