Okay guys, remember this seniero?: I remember reading this while waiting in northern Saudi, I don't remember the person who wrote it, nor his exact words, but what I do remember was like this.
TIME, Dec. 1990: As the US and it's coliation partners prepare for the imminent invasion of Kuwait, to free the country from Iraqi occupation, the Pentagon is preparing for the possiable oncoming slaughter.
The fighter jets will fill the skies, causing literal block outs of the Suns light at times(I specifficaly remember that quote). The use of chemical weapons will render some coliation units useless, with casulity expections to run in to the tens of thousands for the US and Allied forces, within the first few months of a possiable year long battle(this too).
The threat of Israel to intervine may cause some Arib Nations to withdraw from the Allied coliation...............................blah-blah-blah, yak-yak-yak.
Remember Vietnam? Yes you do, we assured victory over the communist forces, and claimed the South Vietnamese Army was capable to carry on without the US.
Israel couldn't stop the Arabs from overruning the state, even with US support.
All these 'EXPERTS' and analist usually never actually served in high positions (ie Corps levil or higher), and some never even in the military. When I watch some shows, where 'military analyst' were so wrong on their basic weapons knowledge, it literally made me laugh.
During a CNN International story, during the Ruwanda and Burundi war, they showed a spent 'US Stinger' antiaircraft round. Well it was a SA-6. I could go on and on, so I will
Panama invasion, live footage from the reporter on the ground, with the EXPERT (some clown at NBC) telling Bryant Gumball, "You see those Hueys?" Well they were all UH-60's (AKA Blakhawks).
We here at Huntchat, could review and analyze, and give a better acrssment that those high paied BOZO's around the world, who advise our allies, and a few weenies in the US, who feed their high priced tripe to our elected officals (not so dangerious, we have the JCS to set it straight), and then the so called EXPERTS who yak on endlessly (kinda like me now), about all they think they know about our forces, and scareing the population with facts that work in theory, not in real life applications. Remember in THEORY communisum works, but in real life it is just like the old monarch system.
Could we beat China? Who knows, let them slip up, we will either deal with it and kick the crap outta them, or we may eat humble pie. Until we know the reaction of the grunt on the ground, for both sides this is all (as usuall) yak-yak-yak..................Jon
