Just back from the States today. I was surprised at how vocal the former Generals are getting over there. One appeared on FN a couple of days ago saying that US Military is being run into the sand over Iraq. He likened the situation to that at the end of the Vietnam war. He stated that last time round it took 10 years for US Mil to recover. Stark words indeed.
And that is coming from a country where military spending has seen huge increases since 9/11. God knows what state we are in now.
