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...
Well, we've almost taken Baghdad for the second time...
