With my background I am impressed by watching American soldiers who are thoroughly trained.
You have to give a real pro credit.
American troops move into position at neither a run nor a walk.
I would hate to be on the other side.
Those troops are like the Roman legions, a whole new phenomenon in their time. They constitute a single unit moving inexorably forward. Each soldier’s firepower is staggering but he is never overconfident about it.
Each man is an arsenal by any earlier standards of warfare, but each arsenal moves in a dance, always in the direction of their goal.
Nobody seems to notice the artistry of it.
If you are someone like me, who has been the objective of firepower, it gives you a cold chill.
Repeat: I would hate to be on the other side.
There used to be a saying, “One barbarian can beat one regular soldier. But a million barbarians cannot beat a legion.”
If you want to beat American soldiers you must wear a woman’s clothes and carry a bomb.
In World War II American soldiers were a joke. If it were not for the Italians, Americans trying to be soldiers would have been the laughing stock of the war.
Today nobody can come close to American soldiers.
I never say anything to flatter anybody. I despise everything those soldiers are doing for Israel.
But Lord Almighty, they are GOOD at what they do!

And, often, they’re doing it in 120 degree and above weather.
“Paradise” originated in Central Asia as the word for a walled
garden.
To have a garden, you have to have adequate water — unless
you’ve got a real thing for cactus and tumbleweed.
To most people in that part of the world, what we have in most
of the United States, just in terms of water, greenery, and
(when it’s doing what it’s supposed to) generally moderate
weather, is just……..unbelievable…………….literally.
