I never called you an idiot...arrogant, self important, and probably some other things, but not an idiot. Whether you asked for it or not, you offered an *opinion* on this list that you passed off as gospel and people called you on the carpet for it. Almost every post has been delivered in a very haughty style, that's been pointed out by many list members, and you're representing your ideas and theories as fact while at the same time calling everyone who disagrees with you "wrong" and also greatly impugning the US military. When I asked you for your qualifications, because he, you could have been a retired general officer, the past commandant of Carlisle Barracks, or perhaps the director of a civilian defense theory think tank, you pretty much panned all that and say, "I read and researched a lot so I know more and better than people who study, teach, and work in the field for a living." Superior technology alone can win a war...what it might not win is the peace that follows. -- Kurt Feltenberger xxxxxx@thepaw.org/xxxxxx@yahoo.com “Before today, I was scared to live, after today, I'm scared I'm not living enough." - Me
