I do not ignore it, I, unlike you, place no importance upon it. Former commanders are not current commanders, but they are entiltled to an opinion. If it satisfies you any at all, I do have a concern about this whole affair, and that is, we went in light in the ass. Because of the decision by Turkey the entire scope and force of the campaign is not in play. I did see a report today that the 4th Armored Division is supposed to arrive in Kuwaite "soon" and will be deployed on the tail of our current main forces that the Iraqis are stinging. This Division is a major machine of war and will fill in the gaps in our logistical tail, but it was originally to have been deployed and drive to Baghdad from the north.
