Anything is POSSIBLE but if these generals had a complaint the time to complain was BEFORE the action not years afterwards. I am old enough to remember how rankled the Navy Admirals got when it was PROVEN the old Battleships were a thing of the past and aircraft carriers and planes were the true FORCE on the seas over 18" guns.
Rumsfield is trying to build a new Army, just as tough as ever but with less of the BAGGAGE and far faster. Personally, I think he was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT and PROVEN SO on the War with Iraq and Afghanistan, what he missed and possibly we all would have missed was that the PEOPLE of Iraq wouldnt STAND UP AS ONE and eliminate the GOONS, TERRORISTS and FOREIGN invaders of their country. We had EVERY REASON to believe that wouldnt happen, but it did. So goes war, always a surprise here and there. anyone remember the BATTLE OF THE BULGE? That was a surprise too. Our intelligence said the germans didnt have THE TANKS, THE FUEL or the MANPOWER to mount an attack through a THICK FOREST. If you all think war is always going to go smooth and OUR WAY I got some swamp land for sale. jdn
