Thanks.

After we kicked Iraq out of Kuwait, a Russian general said he was glad they never had to go up against our Air and Armored Forces in Europe.

He is dead flat correct. And I'm glad we never had to stop the Eighth Guards Army anywhere between Frankfurt/Gelnhausen/Fulda and Munich.

I figure we would have nailed them at a rate of about 15 to one. I also figure they would have thrown 25-1 or 30-1 at us.

My unit was to be one of the first to deploy to Germany and pick up prepositioned equipment. We participated in a massive CPX to war game a Sov conventional invasion. We had them pretty much stopped about half way across West Germany, but losses were heavy.

Damn. So was attrition on our side? Could we have won?
