Explains why the situation in iraq is the way it is. This is why so many top generals are calling for Rumsfeld to resign.

    Right, because we all know that the best battle tactics come from RTS games.

    No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

    The article said that we would need 4 times the amount of troops for the post-war occupation.

    lmmfao. You don't know what war games are.

    War games are complete simulations of war. Everything from missiles, to ground troops, tanks, helicopters, planes, every aspect of war and involves all branches of the military. Lots and lots of role players are brought in to play civilians (I'm talking real life role players, where they actually LIVE like their character should live... food, hunting, etc everything) They mostly last from 45days to 4 months.

    War games are no RTSs. lol

    Alot of the time we actually pitch ourselves against other country's militaries.

    Wiki - Military Excerise (War Games)

    They use miles gear instead of bullets and actual things. Miles Gear (I think I spelled it right) is like laser tag, fitted on everything.

    I actually had a buddy who shot down a helicopter that was carrying 4 Governors who were getting a tour of the operation, lol.

    The only comparison that I will draw between the war in iraq and Vietnam is that it is so heavily politicized that our troops are suffering for it...I don't support the war in Iraq anymore...I havn't for some time now, I feel genuine pitty for the soldiers that are being forced to stay there in ultimate futility...I believe that our reasons for being there are just...but the end result will inevitably be failure, not because of the ineptitude of our troops, or even our politicians, but because of the nature of the enemy that we are fighting. But it's really sad that we won't just let our generals do their jobs...we have to politicize everything, at any cost.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    Let us look at that old Movie "Wargames", which shows us just what the Iraq war is.

    I think it's the objective of your past self to make you cringe.

    ummm...... lol.

    Have you ever seen Wargames?

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

    Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense!
    If Chewbacca lives on Endor, then this post makes no sense.

    It's a pretty good movie. It's called "War Games" because it's about this kid who's a hacker and found this program that he thought was a game, but it was really the control center at NORAD. (or something like that)
