The upcoming midterms!

Yes Bush I opened the door but Slick is the one that went in deep with boots on the ground. Remember going after Adid! The military under Bush I was just to guard the food supplies. Slick had the Rangers going all over the Mog trying to get all to play nice! Then we had Black Hawk Down where US Rangers had to rely on Pakistani & Malay armor & heavy weapon support. One of Slick’s DOD appointments wouldn’t allow in US Armor.
