Tactical retreat isn't the same thing complete withdrawal, you know this man.
He's also the highest decorated marine and probably killed more people than you know. <qoute> In the Korean war, Puller led the landing at Inchon. Then the Chinese Communists came swarming across the Yalu, and once again, the marines handed the toughest job to Puller. He was put in command of the rear guard that was to cover the marines' retreat in subzero weather from the Chosin reservoir. Ordered to abandon equipment and vehicles, Puller not only kept everything he had but collected many trucks that the Army had abandoned along the way. He loaded the wounded into trucks and Jeeps, strapped frozen bodies on bumpers and hoods, and set out to fight his way to safety through the encircling hordes of Chinese. "We're not retreating," he told his marines. "We've about-faced to get at more of those bastards." </quote> http://tinyurl.com/32uw9z > -----Original Message----- > From: Gruss Gott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, September 14, 2007 11:04 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Today's Patraeus: Wow. > > > tBone wrote: > > Yup, and used their intestines to lace his boots. > > > > If I remember my history right, wasn't he the guy who, in the longest > retreat in American history said, "we're not retreating, we're just > attacking in a different direction." > > Because wan't that his east coast NK retreat? > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:242405 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
