deadzone – On what authority do you speak of military matters? Is it lost on you that the massive Soviet military lost over 15,000 men trying to do what we accomplished in 3 months in Afghanistan? And to speak of the Iraqi military as some piss ant force is even more ignorant. Our military accomplishments during the invasion were nothing short of spectacular by any measure, and if you talk to the troops you will quickly discover that they weren’t fighting with kid gloves. Moreover, consider what the troops thought they were in for during the first and second Gulf Wars. Tens of thousands of American losses were projected during the first war, and nothing short of a chemical and biological nightmare was assured during the most recent invasion.
