Fighting has been much more serious than this guy makes out. The US advantage in battle is just overwhelming.... on the other hand the strange things is where they supposedly wired bridges for demolition and even partly damaged some. But they could have blown them up a week before but I guess they needed them to retreat over... So things aren't as extreme as he says... In Israel's wars against conventional Arab armies in 1967, and 1973 the Arab armies were completely overwhelmed despite being larger in total number than the Israelis. About 10 times as many Arab soldiers were killed as Israelis (Israel still lost a couple of thousand soldiers each time). In the US fighting Iraq the casualty ratio is more like 100 to 1. They have that same level of advantage (10:1) over an army like Israel as Israel has over the Arab countries.
