"...90 per cent from the air, 10 per cent from the ground". This seems to be the rule of thumb for General Tommy Franks and his planners.Uh, we have 310,000 personnel in theatre or en route. That does not suggest 10% ground v. 90% air.

Why are so many people starting their sentences with "uh" these days? Is there some kind of TV show where this is done and people are copying it? I remember that "doh" used to be in vogue. Is this from the same show? I'm curious as to how this practice has entered into our language.

Uh, most of that 310K supports the actual fighters.
