Major Bob has a lot of good info but I am not always convinced that he knows what the actual game plan is. Also said that he agrees with McCaffrey that there are not enough ground and armored troops. Second guessing Rummy and Franks. I was not impressed by Major Bob.

My insight on military history is bad.

This has been an education for me.

I was not impressed with that comment either. Why is everyone ignoring that there were additional troops called up yesterday, or the discussion of "force flow" which I heard a couple of days ago? It is my understanding that we have a continuous increase in force simultaneous with the invasion. This is a different strategy to allow assigning troops where they are needed in country, rather than having them all held in Kuwait or some other country.

If I can understand this theory, why can't retired military personnel?

And I think the armor complaint is silly, since the Abrams is both stronger and has a far longer range than the Iraqi armor.

That's what I think, anyway.
