This is ridiculous... Rummy better start leaving the logistics to the professionals.
Look I supported the ousting of Saddam (for other reasons besides WMD's - he didn't live up to the surrender agreement in GWI, hence we were still at war, AFAIC), but this 'nation-building/hearts and minds' crap is NOT THE MILITARY'S MISSION!!!

Hmm...Wonder which president this guy enlisted under? Just my guess, but I bet he didn't have a single qualm back then.
To: Texas_Dawg
sounds like something rummy has to fix from the previous admin who gutted the armed forces.

I'm curious, in your humble opinion, just who would you assign the current mission in Iraq?
To: DugwayDuke
How about sending some old fashioned "care packages" to our troops - could include bug repellant, bandages, etc...can anyone find out an address we could send to our men and women in uniform?
To: StatesEnemy
Rummy better start leaving the logistics to the professionals. Maybe he already is.
Perhaps he needs to crack a few heads instead!

The fact is, soldiers can put up with anything and will do the right thing.
Excepting the author of this letter, of course, who bitches like a waitresses with a bunion.

After throttling the 'Elite Republican Guard', and humiliating the fleeing Bathists, I would take control of the oil fields, pull our troops back to safe areas, and wait for the resistance to coalesce - then bring in the AF again for a lil' more MOAB mamba.
Fvck rebuilding Iraq. Just keep it impotent.

I'm not sure how to take a letter from an admittedly pissed-off officer to an admittedly pissed-off ex-officer who's been undermining the war effort since day one.

Everyone has an agenda. Hackworth as well. It would be nice if we could get some news out of Iraq, but unfortunately the media with all its resources can seem to provide.
There has to be a gold mine of stories in Iraq just waiting for someone to tell them.

Might be more to this than meets the eye. Some of those soldiers have been in the desert for 9 to 10 months. Desert Storm soldiers told of going without showers for 3 to 4 months. I spent a year in Vietnam with 9 of those months in the middle of no where and we at least had showers. Granted, they were not fancy - my wife threatens to publish a picture she found of me standing on a ammo pallet under a shower bucket. Probably not porn, but obscene.

No kidding. Hackworth has become nothing more than a tool to undermine confidence in the military.
I would assume that if things were so terrible, someone in the media would have jumped on it like flies on honey. All we have seen is that one disgusting ABC report, and it was more like complaining that they wanted to go home.
I don't trust Hackworth as far as I could throw him. He has been systematically undercutting the Pentagon by pretending to be helpful to the troops, which he most definitely is not.
