| #9 You know back in college I was with my brother and we found a copy of the book BICYCLES IN WAR by Martin Caidin. Seems this book started by some comments about a joke warfare book idea. When Mr Caidin started to do research he found they have been used in every war since their invention. See also Japanese invasion of Malaya. |

| #5 Ukraine forces have adapted to the situation. Russian forces had, at least initially, trouble with basic things such as logistics, air/land force coordination, etc. |
