QUESTIONS
What We Owe Americans Who Fight By: Robert H. Scales, Paul Van Riper The Washington Post, Nov 19, 2010
“They should be asking why
the richest nation on Earth
could not have done more to
help this small infantry unit
spot the enemy ambush from
the air and defeat them with
overwhelming killing power.
For Giunta's sake, please:
No more fair fights.”
