I had a look at some of the recordings, and the whole thing was just poorly executed. Surely the us military can march better? I have seen kids in school wind orchestras get drilled to a much higher standard in a few evenings, some of the soldiers were walking completely out of beat with the rest.

I would have agreed with you if I thought such a war could have been fought conventionally, but a single nuclear missile slipping through the air defenses would be too high a cost to pay for anything outside NATO.

And how could we do that without Eastern Europe, London and Paris being turned into self illuminating parking lots?
