We will deal with this crisis by refusing to use the Army, for fear it might get scratched.
No chance, with the present Congress, that we will provide the resouces for the armed forces to meet their obligations.

After consuming the peace dividend
There was never a peace dividend....just a cost shift.

Do you actually think the politics of a retired colonel might change the facts in this kind of a review?

From the speaker's bureau that represents him:
"A former army colonel, Kenneth Allard is a well-known commentator on international security issues and is featured as a military analyst with MSNBC and NBC News, as well as a regular columnist for MSNBC.com."
ie. all purpose rent-a-talking-head.

The last sentence mentions the upcoming war with Iran. We will contain the Iranian military with our Air Power.

"82nd Airborne Division, "the so-called ready brigade is no longer so ready" to fight. Its soldiers are untrained, and its equipment is elsewhere. The 82nd is light infantry. They don't have much equipment. Pretty much if they show up standing, they're there.
Untrained? Ah, like since most of them, and especially the NCO's and officers have gone from a peace time shine your jump boots everyday to actual war fighting, they are untrained? I...don't...think...so.
Not ready to fight? If I was this puke writer, I wouldn't yell that in a Fayetteville saloon if I was him.
This article is leftist boob bait.

Well, according to the ads; it's an Army of One. So as long as there's at least "one" in uniform; we have an Army. :-|

Write a lefty loving scare article.
TV shows pay you to come on and buff what you wrote.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat as cash flow requires.

We will contain the Iranian military with our Air Power. Agreed. No need for a ground campaign. We may need some spec ops to take out their gasoline refinery and perhaps some naval installations, but that's about it.
To: brivette
More money, please. No more money available. No more troops, either.

Still waiting, waiting, waiting for said implosion.....Silly boy.
All those uneducated misfits who couldn't get a real job like John Kerry.
They were soundly defeated in '91 by the Elite Republican Guard.
All that stuff you see on TV is just a fabrication made on a sound stage in Nevada.

We will contain the Iranian military with our Air Power. Why not, when it worked so well with Iraq?

I don't know either but if it's true he's a
Wes Clark Democrat I won't put much faith in him.
