#1 Very interesting--only thing missing is the heat and sand!

#2 RE #1:

Yeah, but this is New Jersey so they've got the smell.

#3 2 months training then combat! I don't know if this is good or bad news. During GWI the roundout mechanized brigades spend the entire war getting ready to get started, of course there was plenty of force available without them.

#4 We still need to rebuild the Army with two extra divisions, the Marines with a pair of Brigade Combat Teams, and the Navy with some more assault vessels. The Air Force/ANG/AF Reserve may require some additional building, as well. We also need a new conventional bomber capable of carrying huge loads of conventional munitions to replace the ancient B-52. Nuclear capability is ok for deterrence, but we need a real nutcruncher to use on islamofruitcakes and the Sudanese.

#5 Hmmmm. They could also try to import some authentico Iraqi water for the trainees. I hear those runs are pretty nasty and take some getting used to. Especially when all you have is that military issued sandpaper to wipe with.
