Gotta love the veterans of Normandy... and Okinawa too... those were more formidable challenges, I think, than Iraq.

But I'm sure the lethality and sheer firepower about to be unleashed makes this the "most effective" invasion force ever, if nothing else.

Sorry Hitler, Napoleon, Mao, Caesar, Alexander, Sherman, Eisenhower, et. al.... This seems to be about the nature of the whoop-ass in the cans, not how many cans there are.
