Q: What else?
A: We had the impression that American commanders had their hands tied by political factors. Your generals could never deploy a maximum force for greatest military effect.
With the possible exception of Schwarzkopf's "end run" strategy and leadership of Desert Storm in general, that pretty much describes American warfare from Korea through the present.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

The US hasn't declared War since WWII. That's the problem when actions taken under the guise of "a police action", a UN mandate, a "resolution", or an "authorization to use force"...since these are not American War, they become Presidential Wars, of the Administration, and not of the People.

It tells me that I am pleased you are not Australian...and that your American status is suspect as well. You don't have a clue what it means to be an American. America stood for commitment, stability, freedom, and the chance for the ordinary man to make something of himself...it was a nation that could change the world and be better for it. It sounds like you have a better grasp of it than TRH...

That bullshit floated until Vietnam. It's definitely a low fiber turd these days.

America stood for commitment, stability, freedom, and the chance for the ordinary man to make something of himself...it was a nation that could change the world and be better for it. That is how I saw the United States of America when I was a lad, now I see it as being peopled by things such as yourself that have no belief and a dire need to cast aspersions upon any that do not measure up to your lofty ideals...your bullshyte lefty over-educated arrogant ideals. Yes there are holdouts that still reside in the former, but they are on the wane and creatures such as you are the cause of it. Have a nice day you foul low [bleep]. Mr, I owe you a case of beer. My only regret is that I I can't squeeze all of your post into a signature line. My compliments, CrimsonTide
