And now, it's being played out in political cartoons like Romney thinks that we do need more horses and bayonets.  |
You know both sides practiced such "zingers". I wonder how many hours both sides put into debate practice.

Our military is amazing. If you study military history you can see it plainly. During WWII it took us years to fight to Berlin from all sides. I just read a book by a former Iraqi General and he says the Iraq war was over the first night with the first shot - which took out all of their military communications instantly.
