  1. I knew a nurse who worked at the VA hospital in Chicago at that time. We're talking on the phone just before this war started, she said they had 10,000 beds ready for casualties. I told her that was a waste of time. Reason being to US military had spent the last 10+ years training in the desert to fight a Soviet style army. What are they facing? A Soviet Style army in a desert. This is going to be more like a live fire exercise than a real war.

  7.  @jimmys1558  I think (and as always I Could Be Wrong) you missed my point. has noting (or Very little) to do with the equipment. We were training to fight the Soviet army (on the plains of Germany), and we were doing it in a desert. What did we face? A Soviet style army in a desert. Also as I have read the Iraqi army was expecting something like the Iran Iraq war.
