As the military axiom goes:

"Amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics."

It takes a certain amount of time to mobilize and move thousands of personnel, move thousands of military vehicles and move tens of thousands of tons of supplies from Point A to Point B.

"Amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics."

you are the second person to understand the problem on this site.... thank you.. it restores my faith in the FR...

I'd like to see how many people realize what it takes in equipment, planning supply, delivery, off loading, extrication and resupply...for 10000-30000 undisciplined civilians.... they're lucky that they're getting the stuff now.

The Fox network should get the general in charge of logistics during the first Gulf War to give a primer.
