She thinks she knows military strategy better than Lt. Gen. David H. Petraeus.

Speaking of Gen. Petraeus, did you know that Lt. Gen. David H. Petraeus & Bill Frist share Some Rare Connection?

Twice, accidents almost ended his career, or even his life. In 1991, as a battalion commander at Fort Campbell, Ky., he was shot in the chest with an M-16 rifle when a soldier tripped during a training exercise. Rushed into surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he underwent five hours of surgery by Bill Frist, who a decade later became Senate majority leader.

Fascinating connection! Thanks for telling me that, anita. I love footnotes. LOL

#145, My nephew was a Paratrooper assigned to Ft Campbell and that is a Horror story that unfortunately happened a few times that he told me about. They are not supposed to talk about it, but he wanted/needed to vent. One Commander was shot and killed because of multiple errors in his judgment. It usually does not happen that way, they usually get others killed. The best Fighting Forces in the World still have wort's. we just hope they are fewer, and fewer.
