... a word from General McAuliffe

1) The General dug into the podium with both hands and vented out,

Well David, If you would have told me in 1944 that the US Army would progress to the point where it could invade a country the size and population of California and occupy it in less than three weeks and after a year suffer only 1300 casualties with a wounded survival rate of 94%, I would have said you were out of your mind. I have all the faith in the world of the American Fighting man, but I doubt very much you could take over the city of Chicago with such light losses, much less an entire foriegn country, its capitol and 35 million of its inhabitants.

2) I know what fear is and I know what fear can do to men. It can turn even the bravest men to Jello. In Korea, the enemy began to become 10 foot tall giants in the minds of our men who had been undersupplied and badly placed into a battlefield as Washington and the world were surprised by the dirty little backwoods North Koreans. I got up to the front as quick as I could to find out the true situation. What I found were men who ran for cover at the first round of artillery, even when the round was a wide ranging shot, the effect was to slow our lines, causing even more men to be killed by snipers. During one such artillery attack, after laying in a trench beside a road at the top of a berm, and looking at a group of good soldiers as they started to lose their will. I decided to do something about it.

“What did you do?” Questioned Sir-David-of-NBC.

“I stood up and walked to the middle of the road and took a leak, in front of full view of my troops and the enemy spotters. The artillery continued, but it was clear that the enemy could not range their weapons properly” I yelled out to the troops “ These bastards cant hit a damn thing, now get up off your asses and get moving”.

*******************************************************

While the enemy could not range their weapons, VariFrank is once again directly on target on with his comments about the MSM and their diservice to their country and our soldiers in this war.

Cannot recommend this strongly enough, but then I am an unabashed admirer of VariFrank's writing 99%+ of the time.
