an observation: USArmy resembles a caravan of SUV's in VietNam we worked with foot soldiers and helicopters air strikes supported ground units here it seems we have built in a tremendous vulnerability with required fuel I heard yesterday that 250,000 gallons of fuel were delivered to Basra they were concerned about the risk of having the supplies hit by snipers and grenade launchers talk about asymmetrical damage!!! a $300 rocket launched grenade takes out a truck of gasoline the reporter mentioned that the area requires a fresh 250,000 gallons every three days !!! our USArmy is as fat as our fleet of cars as fat as our population THIS ARMY'S VULNERABILITY LIES IN ITS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS the entire Army is moving north on armored vehicles, tanks, halftracks, etc they run at 2 gallons per mile, perhaps 4-6 gallons per mile I have yet to see a regular truck that gets 5 miles/gallon which can carry 20 men / jim
