They like using force as a concept but have no understanding of how or why you use it, and more importantly when you don’t use it.

They are saying we cannot defend our shipping from World War I mines, or our vehicles from Vietnam era grenades, but we have nifty over-priced model airplanes flying about.

This is just stupid, and it is getting thousands of people on both sides killed.

the plan of my enemy is the enemy of my plan. or something. i'm always amazed that people complain when their adversaries turn out to be adversarial. complaining about soviet era weaponry may not speak well of them [it doesn't], but it's a step up from their earlier complaining about homemade bombs. i'd never read sun tzu either, but i looked it up just now and skimmed parts of it. i think it's entierely possible they did read it [possibly in as great detail as i just did] and then they only picked out the parts they liked the sound of.

It’s Rumsfeld’s plan they are not interested in following. As Suvorov as fond of pointing out, the problem with plans is that the enemy has to agree to follow your plan.

Complaining about Soviet era infantry weapons doesn’t speak well for military PR people.

The thing is hipparchia…they are following the rules of war. George Bush and company have obiously never read SunTzu because if they had we would have never engaged Iraq and we surely would not still be there.

it’s just really annoying how these brown people won’t follow the rules of war.
