Just my $.02
I think it's part fof the problem. Loathe can address training issues
better than I could.
The major issue I feel is poor planning at the top.... we tried to crack
an egg with a 20 lb sledge hammer.
We have the best soldiers in the world (thank you by the way). But when
their not utilized in the best way, they can't be effective.
Wouldn' t Iraq have been the best place for covert surgical strike and
precision operations?

That sounds great...but let me ask you an honest question that gets to the
core of this:
Do you think lack of training is what is keeping us from winning in Iraq?
