#1 It seemed obvious that Romney, believing he came into the final debate with sufficient momentum to win, was running the equivalent of a "prevent defense," willing to yield ground and avoid risky confrontations

Or he and Mr. Ryan are finally getting intel briefings.

#2 They should be, at this point.

Shucks, does that mean we can't bomb Iran? Or worse, does it mean that Obama might actually be doing a few things right?

#4 They are getting briefings -- started the week after the convention -- around Sept 15....

#5 Pappy's comment confused me. Although some of you seemed to 'get it'. Romney didn't want to spill any beans?

#6 I'll pretend to be in the know.
Altho, as long suspected I'm clueless.

#7 Things have their proper place ...

> Horses, or perhaps more accurately Mules + Donkeys, were invaluable during WW2 in both the Italian + SOuth Pacific theaters, going where Jeeps + Trucks could not go in high ridge or high mountain latitudes.
> When engaged in close-in or hand-to-hand fighting, many Army-Marine grunts want the option of using their combat rifles as effec "clubs" or "spears".

The US must be able to respond to changes in enemy tactics + strategies as due to changes in American tactics and strategies, i.e. COUNTER-CHANGE.

E.G. "TOP GUN" = where in a scene the movie character "Viper" brings up the subject that post-WW2/Korean War US reliance on techy LR standoff missles in air-to-air combat resulted in a loss or decline of US dogfighting skills such that enemy air forces were able to significantly lower their loss rate agz US fighter aircraft, E.G. VIETNAM WAR WHERE THIS TREND WAS NOT REDUCED UNTIL AFTER US AIR COMBAT PILOTS RECEIVED IMPROVED TRAINING IN DOGFIGHTING TACTICS.
