Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help: To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...
Classically, a "division" is about 10,000. In most armies, it is pretty safe to figure out about that many. For our military, it is reasonable also, but the type of division is pertinent to know - infantry, armored, etc. If you know the type of division in the US, you can get a real good idea. I believe an Iraqi "division" was scheduled to be a fair bit larger than 10,000.
"Element of a division" is just some part of it - it could be only a couple hundred or nearly the whole division.
Given the massive attrition which has been inflicted on these Iraqi forces, I suspect that there are far less than 10,000 around the airport. One of the major divisions was essentially deployed in that area, though, and may be fairly intact.
Yep we heard the Orphanage too .. worked till we were about 10 yrs old .. after that we knew she'd never do becuase of what the neighbors would think
I still remember having to shut all the windows when she would yell at us .. She never hit us but OH Man did that women have a set of lungs on her .. LOL
Did they say where it leads to?
I unequivocally, fully second your observation.
