ClippyGibb/a Coyote opinion fer yew.

The USMC are traditionally assult troops, What the hell are they doing out in the desert with thin skinned lightly armored AMTRACKS trying to act like the Army? Their equipment and training is inferior to the Army's for this type of fighting imho. Shudda held them in reserve for the final assult on Bagdad

Better you and your motorhome ?

jim D-10154 All around nice guy. Man small... why fall ? Skies call... thats all.

let me answer my own question... Tommy Franks wuz in a hurry and misued his assets.

It's backed up in the woods with tree cover just like I like it....besides we weren't trained as a shock troop's, just to be sneaky M'fers....Something that carried over to my golden years quite well I must say. P

the MEF up the middle, 3rd ID went >wide in the desert, hence the uneven combat

I stand corrected Tommy Franks has a woody for the Marines....perhaps he was a Navy Coxsun in another life time. 0~

???? shit, I cud whump a whole LCVPR full of Fleet Marines 30 or 40years ago! Rukun one Army general wud be wishing he had put my sand monkeys out on the flank swing or replaced their AMTRACKS with the stored in place Bradlys he's saving for 4th I.D. cuz I got at least one can of ass whip left to open. He shudda sent a Coxsun along to wipe their noses & take their mind off chunking their cookies when the terrain got bumpy P
