This Author is a real peice of work.
Who The F*** makes war plans for the ARMY - Rummy? Folks like this Turd who fail to realize Rummy does not micromanage, but will ultimately get blame or kudos whatever happens. This dirtbag is a real armchair general with mastery of the obvious. Where was he in '99 or '01? In Eucom or Centcom OPLANS perhaps? If anyone deserves blame its the ARMY war planners, not the Theater CINC or Rummy. Screw the Army, the Marines are doing most of the work in Iraq.
Sure, the army needs 400 Divisions to pacify Iraq and I shure as heck would not want to be on the ground during any "shock & aWE" campaign.
The Army always bitches because it can't always have things it's way.
Screw the Army, the Marines are doing most of the work in Iraq.
Today.
Actually the Marines whine the most - your observation about them doing most of the work in Iraq is classic. They are great at politics. I take it you are a former Marine. I enjoyed my year at your Marine Command and Staff College. Learned a lot about the second land Army.
