The armed forces could not operate the way a true army is suppose to, they had a lot of restrictions applied to them, politically, being a post Vietnam veteran I know, 6-76 to 6-79 I know the hardship the war took on the American forces. however in the Iraq war the gloves are off, We went in there at tremendous speeds for an Army and created total havoc, anarchy, confusion, dismay, The Russians were even impressed. This next round of military intervention will be different, just alone from the more troops needed to apply the "town guards" after they vamoose, to the next town, after all Iraq isn't all that big considering the isolated dessert space.
