It is also free of facts and logic. It is, however, full of absurd oversimplifications. One wonders whether the author has ever worn a uniform (not necessarily that of the US) as well. mh ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

I'd like to know a few examples of where it is missing facts and logic? They give a number of examples that are both factual and logical - taken at random here is a quote as an example. Quote When the United States fights in the Eastern Hemisphere, it fights at great distances, and the greater the distance, the greater the logistical cost. More ships are needed to deliver the same amount of material, for example. That absorbs many troops. The logistical cost of fighting at a distance is that it diverts numbers of troops (or requires numbers of civilian personnel) disproportionate to the size of the combat force.
