The casualty count ave. per day is now equal or slightly higher than the Gulf War ave. and we have not gotten into the heavy fighting yet.

The fighting in this war has been far, far more intense than the Gulf War ground campaign ever was.

However, already we are seeing a lack of consensus among the generals

Big surprise. The "Generals" (Ret.) wouldn't be doing it the way Franks is.

Ted Re...It would not be "incompetence" if one soldier was "talking of" shortages. Obviously, you're clueless about the process.

Yes, Gen. Ray......how could I have ever doubted your view behind those rose colored glasses?!!


Frankly, I agree with David on this. There is no way one would expect Rumfeld, or any general to be able to micromanage this down to individual soldiers. Rumsfald and the generals first of all deal with divisions, or at the minimum battalian sizes. Below that, what happens within a battalian would be up to that battalians supply chiefs. To say Rummy is incompetant because some soldier didn't get his two meals is ridiculous. If the whole division had to cut back, then that would be different.
