A) Total US casualties, killed and wounded, in WWII: 963,409
B) Casualties per day, WWII: 705.8
C) Total US casualties, killed and wounded, in Iraq, through yesterday: 12,222
D) Casualties per day in Iraq, through yesterday: 17.6
A + B + C + D = you're a schmuck. "Untrained" my ass.

this is being done already and has since before Thunder Run
>>Obviously, with the exception of some more educated commanders, it's not. <<
yes it is. obviously you have a limited understanding of what is going on in Iraq. not surprising though, as most people only get their information from the media.

Like the old saying goes, there are those who would argue with a fence post. Well shucks, son, I was fixin' to debate you on what you wrote, but since you admit you're a fence post, I won't.
BTW, I'm a true Texian of your grandfathers generation.

Thanks! And don't worry about the double post, that happens to me sometimes too. I don't know why, it's very odd. But hey, if that's the worst we have to endure here at FR, I'll take it!
Thanks for the compliment again! :)

don't remember saying that we needed to send such a huge number of special forces. I never mentioned divisions or anything like that. In fact, we don't. But we do need multiple squads of small units, lightly armed, working around the clock with Iraqis trained to do likewise. Absolutely fascinating! Scaling down to more flexible, maneuverable units, training and working in conjunction with the Iraqis. Rummy, is that you?
Certainly worthy of its own thread. < / sarcasm >
