Heard a commentator on Liddy, name slips me, going on today about how the war plan was flawed, the equipment unreliable, leadership questionable, but the American "grunt" somehow overcame all tihs to defeat the Iraqis. Still prefers the Garrand to the M16, I got the feeling that he feels the M60 is superior to the Abrams. His own ego will not let him admit his evaluation at day 5 was flawed.

The Iraqi army fell because other than the AK-47 the equipment they used was 2 or 3 generations behind ours. Well, and the fact our troops train 3 to 8 times as long.

I get tired of Naysaying retired Generals. They would still have us pulling 16 pound Napoleans behind a 4-hitch of Belgians.
