#1 quoting Perry and Albright is like having Martha Stewart as your corner manager in a boxing match. They don't have a f*&king clue, and you are screwed....

#5 The Army was broke in the 70's. Easily identified by high levels of AWOL, desertion, Article 15s, Courts Martial, race riots, drug abuse, etc. Another indication that dead tree media is unable to perform the function of information source for the republic in order to have a well informed citizenry. So again, why do we have a First Amendment for the Press and not the Internet? How about reversing that.

#9 the phrase that's garnered Krepinevich's study so much attention, "the thin green line," is not new ï¿½ it first appeared in a report he wrote in August 2004 for his think thank

The thin green line first appeared in 2004. OK.
