Somebody should write a book.... People just don't know exactly what Rumsfeld is doing... He has undertaken one of the biggest tasks this century... Transforming our military from Cold War Strategic battle planning to 21st Century Warfighters... There were may reasons why we lost over 50,000 troops in Vietnam..... How come no one asks today why it is that we have such a low casualty rate? Friendly Fire incidents are way down from previous wars. Intel and Communications are seamless, with planning and coordination cross polinated among all the services and allies.... Sure there are mistakes but in retrospect we are producing some of the greatest tactical victories in history....
"He has undertaken one of the biggest tasks this century... Transforming our military from Cold War Strategic battle planning to 21st Century Warfighters..."this is not an easy task... If you recall, when Rumsfeld gave the order to cancel the US Army Crusader Program (designed specifically to stop massive attack from Eastern Europe), Shinseki was screeching the loudest. Coincident!!!
