There are blowhard prognosticators on both sides. Attention whores.
The top two are Ritter and MacGregor.
This Aussie has a long way to go to match those two bottom feeders.
Col MacGregor;
VMI graduate
West Point graduate (Engineering)
PHD U. of Virginia (International Relations)
Col MacGregor led an armored brigade in "the last great Tank battle of the 20th century" 1991 Gulf War. Through a sandstorm they destroyed 70 Iraqi Imperial Guard tanks with NO U.S. casualties He was at the FRONT of the formation in the leading tank "Eagle Troop's scouts on his left flank followed his vehicle through a minefield during which his crew destroyed two enemy tanks".....the Colonel didn't call in an artillery strike because in the midst of battle, he had no tome to do it....
In 2019, IDF Chief, Lieutenant General Aviv Kochavi made Mac's 2003 book; "Transformation under Fire" required reading for Israli officers of Lt Colonel and above.
IN 2001 Sec of Defense D Rumsfeld who had read Mac's book "Breaking the Phalanx" insisted that General Tommy Franks and staff meet with MacGregor to discuss intervention in Iraq.
I could go on and on. These are only a fraction of the Colonels accolades among many more.
a "bottom feeder"...."blowhard prognosticator"...these comments are beyond ludicrous... they are ignorant beyond all imagination.....
I don't know much about Ritter except he was a Marine intelligence officer and UN weapons inspector.
So Sir, in your opinion, who shall we listen and pay heed?
