Imagine how it would have been on Iwo Jima if there had been 50,000 Japanese troops, all of them as well equipped, if not better, than the Americans and backed up with the latest in heavy ordinance, etc., and entrenched in impregnable positions?OK, if this author doesn't know the difference between "ordinance" and "ordnance," I have a hard time taking his opinion on a military conflict seriously...

Well, it's far better than all the pants-wetting nonsensical articles overhyping every aspect of the PRC military that are routinely posted on FR.

I would be more inclined to believe that it has more to do with English not being his native languge rather than his lack of knowledge on the subject.
