Interesting Fact

The VFW recently did a study of vets from World War two and the Iraq war. I thought it was interesting to note that in World War Two, 15% of the troops saw combat of some type, mostly infantry (the poor bloody infantry). By contrast, in this war, 82% of the troops in theater have been exposed to combat. Wow.

I guess that proves Rummy's way is the best. "Soldiers are for fighting, god damn it". Of course, after 4 years of fighting WWII we had already taken back North Africa, France, and almost all of western Europe and were closing on Germany...
