so what topics you guys wanna toss around???
btw my friend has finished his 2nd tour of Iraq in one piece. He has signed on for a third tour with the marines but hes staying in Cali. training in comms out by 29palms. his dad showed me the pics as they came back on one of the marine landing ships...neat ship...
What kind of topic do you want Jeppers? A good topic or a random topic, because I can think of a million things that are random. Ok, ok, I'll stop. Hmmmmmmm let's take a random topic.
Here it goes: Who here likes Moon pies.
Just kiddin guys ok now here is the REAL topic: Why did General Billie fight a defensive war?
i always thought it was because he didnt trust the marines enought when they did start to break out and he thought he could out wait the enemy...and kill off the troublesome Fist in the process...he would save the day and be down one internal enemy...and of course hes a complete a$$...but then again that has happen in other wars through the ages...
running defence is harder than running an offence...
I think the reason he wanted to fight a defensive war is because he was the commander of all of the Generals. That may be a reason. I also think the reason he wanted to fight a defensive war was so General Loyns would use up his army and then Billie could exploit that weakness and save the day.
The reason he called back the marines is very simple: He was emberressed. A New General comes along and takes two hills the first time he lands on the beach that you can't even do with a re enforced divison must be embarresing. That is like General Patton taking positions from the Germans when Ike could not.
