[Hemingway's Ghost]

I really have a hard time seeing a loosly organized bunch of individuals project even defensive naval power, widespread air defense or a multi-divisional armored formation.

I would've had a hard time believing that a bunch of farmers, storekeepers, shipbuilders, and windbags masquerading as part-time militiamen, bitching about not getting paid, bitching about crappy duty, and even picking up and leaving defensive posts when their enlistments were up could defeat the world's strongest superpower. But it happened.

Yea, but the worst one of those guys was equal to about 3 of us!
