I didn't know you were elected to speak for everyone else.
And your pejoratives -- "prejudices" and "obsessions" -- are out of line and insults to intelligence. The point I made was consistent with the theme of military "stupidity," first raised by "expert" Mr. Harris.

Same was true of the Germans, as depicted in "The Longest Day".
Difference...
Right. Our military is never stupid. There were a series of blunders leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor which weren't made on the Japanese -- stupid -- side. They were made on the US side.
