Can you tell me what is wrong with the statement "You go to war with the Army you have." Its the truth. What other Army are you going to go to war with? The one you WISH you had? What nonesense. Rumsfeld is an innovator and has ruffled feathers as any trailblazer would. These upstarts are just pissed because he rained on their parade or canceled their pet projects.
Some people have a hard time with reality. Apparently you are one of them.
The generals need to be reminded of the words of Clemenceau, "War is a series of calamaties that result in victory." And we are getting victory in Iraq, regardless of what the MSM says.
When it is made to soldiers who are rummaging through landfills for discarded metal to use as armor on APCs to protect against IEDs that are killing your buddies it is not only BLATANTLY WRONG, it is BLATANTLY STUPID...
