 Lets see now, just how does Anonymous know that none of the 125 US
combat deaths
(and 495 injured) in Iraq weren't caused by some lack of realism in
their training?  I may not
agree with all the DoD rhetoric about encroachment, but I do believe
that our soldiers and
Marines must train as they will fight.  And that doesn't include
dropping dummy bombs or
single-filing across a beach, etc.

According to the Secretary of Defense, our battle plans for the Iraq
excursion  were
brilliant, the execution was magnificent, our leadership was without
equal and the military
personnel and equipment operated in an almost flawless fashion.
Environmental constraints
affected our readiness about as much as the French did.  So please
explain how our
environmental laws and regulations are adversely impacting combat
capability.
