Confident Morning in Kiev. In the Afternoon, a Hurricane Will Arrive.
In Vietnam, I was in an operation where the two platoons in front of me got attacked and were pinned down so badly that my platoon was held back for eight hours because it would have been suicide for us to go into that trap.
Our Lieutenant Colonel's plan was to gradually surround the enemy force with his other company of Marines before using artillery and napalm on the Communist soldiers. He tricked them into thinking our communications were knocked out. If today's Diploma Dumbo jurinalists had been reporting the action, they would have said we were losing and our equipment was broken.
Thinking they could wipe us out, the enemy stayed put and died to the last man. In the Ukraine, Putin is waiting until everything is in place and then he will send in his matador weapons to finish off the foolish Yukees.
He did the same in Chechnya. 7,500 Russian dead; 96,000 Chechen dead. In my action, 28 Marines dead, 300 VC dead.
