Hu Rah! I think the one thing that still irks me are the folks that said our troops would be gassed and/or nuked if we entered Iraq...the same ones now that say the WMD effort was a ruse. Whether bad info or misleading info is a non-issue now, IMO.
I'm sure that well trained commanders and soldiers would rather lead (n) and be lead (v) than 'manage' and be 'managed.' It's almost a cliché now, but we still need to support our troops, wherever and whatever their mission. Remember that soldiers don't start wars, soldiers finish them - if allowed to. Dale
