What is your justification for constantly trashing this newsgroup?

Is there someone you are trying to communicate with? Some tribe or something?

I wonder what you would have said in 1943 about someone posting letters to
the editor like the ones you now post...

No need. We knew how to fight WW II.


Rather than rattle your jaw about a subject you obviously have no real
knowledge of, you might take time to actually read a bit about the OIF
campaign. Tommy Frank's new book, "American Soldier", is at your local
bookstore now, and includes an inside view of how the operation was planned
and executed...but I doubt you'd bother with reading it or any other
reputable account of the campaign--that would make it harder for you to
belittle the efforts and sacrifices of those that fought it, wouldn't it?

There are those who go to war. Then there are those who only read about war.
And never the twain shall meet. Read your books. Cherish your dreams and
fantasies. But don't confuse your dreams and fantasies with the reality of war.
They are not the same. Or even close.

Yo, Shmedlap--you must have missed the fact that Franks fought in three wars
to your one, and was the commander of CENTCOM during both OIF and OEF. So
are you calling him the fellow who "only reads about war"? Unlike your hero
Kerry, he actually got a *real* PH for wounds received. He wrote the book I
referenced towards your edification--but you think you know more than he
does, eh? Figures. You must truly be getting senile...

The perfect demonstration of why you are ignorant on any military subject
outside your own limited field.

Professionals read history.
