I'm not sure what time period you're talking about here, can you be more
specific because, in my opinion, the US has never had a "sloppy, mamma's boy
military"?

Mr. Kramer was referring to the 1st Marine Division that went from the
Kuwait border to east Baghdad in three weeks, "running and gunning" in
a manner that would have had Patton gibbering at the old folks' home.

You will find life more pleasant, and this newsgroup more manageable,
if you put Mr. Kramer in a kill-file.
