Re: "The battallions fell below the readiness threshold according to his description of it" That's just false, vis a vis your links. He made no statement what-so-ever such as the above. He does not single out 2 battalions and say anything about anything happening to them that would have taken them out of readiness at all. It's a discrepancy, and though you have no explanation for it from the General what-so-ever in your links, you presume to know what happened here. What you can say is what I've said, namely that he does NOT say 2 battalions fell out of readiness in your link, and in fact offers no explanation for the discrepancy in his two testimonies. Congress should have been asking....if they did he should be answering....if he did answer, reporters writing your links should be explaining. The General should be explaining. If you wish to assume and proclaim you know the explanation for the discrepancy when you obviously don't, that's your bad behaviour, not mine. Dan B.
