Ever wondered on how a Black Jack Pershing, a George Patton, or a Erwin Rommel would have fit into today's military?
Would strategic mistakes like not finishing Desert Storm by seizing Basrah, not completing the fighting in Afghanistan before invading Iraq, or not blocking in Ossoma prior to cleaning out Bora-Bora have been allowed by any of these generals?
Or even better...would GSP have told Bush/Obama were to shove their stars and ripped them both new orifices after he had retired?
