And, as I show in my book "America's Victories," these kinds of claims about the American military being "broken" pop up in EVERY SINGLE WAR we've had, save perhaps WW II. ALL of our enemies, in every war, thought we were pushovers. Santa Anna promised to be in Washington D.C. in a few weeks after he took over as dictator; the British were supremely confident they would beat us in 1812. There was HUGE opposition to the War of 1812, Mexican War, and Sp-Am War, too.

Does your book go all the way to Gulf War One? I remember reading for weeks before the "start", how Saddam had bunkers that were impregnable and intricate, and a 'supergun' that had a barrel larger than anyone had ever built before, and a Republican Guard that outmeasured our forces in every category, etc etc.
How did western reporters get so taken in by smoke and mirrors?
