The brilliance of this operation is going to become evident post-war. Our initial land phase took most of the country away from the Thugs, leaving scattered elements that are breaking themselves on our forces and committing unspeakable acts on their own people in the process...something routine for Iraq. Now we are in the second phase...the air campaign against forces sequestered in much more confined areas. Tank plinking, if you will. As the Thugs get panicy, they will send out irrational attacks to be turned into desert crunchies. During this phase, we get additional ground forces incountry and ready.
Has anyone else notices the Infantry-heavy nature of the force? Think about it.
This operation is going to be awe inspiring!

Wait until the 4th Division gets into place. They are offloading in Kuwait as I type this. The 4th Division has scores of Abrams tanks, Bradley armoured vehicles, rocket launchers and Apaches that are all linked together electronically (networked) so they all see the same battlefield together in real time and can act as a single weapon. While the rest of our military has plenty of high-tech, the 4th Division takes it a step beyond. It will be really interesting to see what happens when they get into action. I think we are in for a nice surprise (and the Iraqis are in for a nasty one).
