To: toenail; Redleg Duke
I've got nothing against Redleg Duke. In fact, the term, Redleg, implies that he is combat arms, Artillery in fact. Maxims are crutches that people clutch closely. I was in the Armor Corps. One of my personal heroes is George Patton. He understood the value of slicing through the front lines with armor and creating havoc in the rear suuply lines. Rommel ran out of petrol in Africa before he could engage General Patton in the way would have wanted. Logistics are important, but not more important than the SOBs who are fighting and dying on the pointy end of the spear.

You were Armor, eh? I was in the Armored Cav for a short while...until they found out my parents were married to each other! ;-)
