We were told the Russian army would be invincible in a land battle and the all opposing armies would only be speed bumps. All the handwringers sang the praises of their hardware, the T-90, the ship killers, their submarines...on and on

We were also told the Iraqi army was among the largest in the world and battle seasoned and had the "elite" republican guard, ready to have the streets flowing in blood.

Our intelligence community hasn't gotten anything right since before the Bay of Pigs. The media trumpets every doom and gloom aspect they get or imagine.

Very few people even have any hands on experience with C-C-C or know anything about our SIOP plans. Everyone else is either guessing or shooting from the hip. The average guy on the street has no clue what TOT or MRT options means in the ICBM world.
