<<One general for every 1,600 soldiers! One officer for every 4-5 soldiers!
Yup...that is too many.>>

Seems to be a problem in a lot of things, to many chiefs and not enough Indians. Look at Custer, lots of officers, this rank and that rank. Chief Sitting Bull was the go to guy and he said kill those white bastards and the Indians did.

So, who is guilty at West Point for turning out so many crappy Army officers and generals (like Wesley Clark)?

You either play to win or stay off of the field!

As for the jelly spined Libs in this country today, they should roll back to how we won the Revolutionary War. While the Brit Army paraded around in bright red uniforms and fought using typical European line by line attacks, scoundrels like the Swamp Fox hid behind trees and bushes and picked them off in great numbers. Similar to what AQ is doing.

For some reason, some folks think if we just leave THEM alone, they will leave US alone. I've got some BAD news for those folks! They will NEVER leave us alone.
