LTG McKiernan is the commander of the U.S. Third Army. The Army component of CENTCOM. It's nickname is "Patton's Army" Patton was the 3rd Army Commander at the time of his death in 1945 and it was the spearhead of the American drive into Germany. It's the patch I proudly wear on my right sleeve.

Oh come off it General, yeah the guys did what they had to do, it's not their fault that the iraqis didn't fight but it wasn't Iwo or pushing the Germans back to Berlin. As fights are measured it was a creampuff. If you don't understand that; factor in, instead of the Iraqis, the Jap fighter circa 1943 in the same number as the Iraqis and with the same weapons. We'd win but it would still be going on and it would take years to end. I mean lets not lose our perspective!
