ARMY TIMES: WHY WE COULD NEVER GO TO WAR WITH RUSSIA

Overhaul of Guard training to cost over $128M - Army News, opinions, editorials, news from Iraq, photos, reports - Army Times or click on this link to read ARMY TIMES story:
http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/08/ap_guard_training_081908/

There is no way in hell the United States could ever go to war with Russia, or anybody else for that matter.

The story above from the ARMY TIMES is a perfect example of how broken and stretched the ARMY is and how the National Guard is now thinking of all kinds of ways to keep troops happy by letting them live at home during training and hold down the rotations to Iraq and Afghanistan.

John McCain is blowing smoke up the ass of Americans with his bravado speeches about how the U.S. will kick Russia's ass if they don't fall into line.

The media is as much to blame as McCain because the mopes in the media don't know, or don't want to believe, the United States Army is broken.

As this story from the ARMY TIMES points out, the Army is doing everything they can to try and keep troops happy and entice more people to join the Army or the National Guard.

It will not work.

The ONLY thing that will work is a DRAFT and nobody wants to touch the thought of a DRAFT because it is the third-rail of politics right up there with Social Security.

TODAY Russia thumbed their nose at the United States and NATO and took dozens of Georgia troops hostage and stole six HUMVEES from a dock in Georgia. Russia has seen what has happened to the U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan and they know the United States is now a paper tiger.

Russia, like anyone with half a brain and IQ over 75, knows "the surge" was a farce and it was the Sunni Awakening who calmed things down in Iraq and NOT the U.S. military.

BTW: You won't see the above story from the ARMY TIMES getting much press coverage because that would send a signal to Americans that the U.S. is not the super-power we pretend to be, and McCain was wrong.
