What hurts them most is that we have been so successful without even the 4th ID- in fact we have prosecuted the war so far with the most minimal number of troops in any scenario I heard being floated for the war.
This entire article is so much tommyrot.
The stand-by alert for Fourth ID, First Cav, First Armored, and 2nd and 3rd ACR's went out in February. They were always going to be the follow on forces. 4th ID is a little late in the game because we spent so much time hanging around the Turkish coastline. We should have cut bait March 1st.
But some mistakes are unavoidable as politics tends to intervene in military planning from time to time.
The Administration is not responding to criticism.
Be Seeing You,
