"Thank you Beck for inserting a dose of reality.

And thank you. I'm sure 99% of the other vets on this board will tell anyone that any battle plan has good and bad suprises. I'm praying that W sets the American public straight and does not overhype our superiority to the point where everyone thinks this will be a brief war. Not only will we have some intense battles in Iraq, but I'm afraid, based on Ridge's comments, some major problems at home. And I'm still not 100% sold on the all new "Clintonized" pc military that was not there when I retired in 92-93. I pray for everyone and especially our boys overseas tonight.
