"....Gen. William 'Buck' Kernan - "playing" the head of Joint Forces Command - told Pentagon reporters that Millennium Challenge 2002 was nothing less than "the key to military transformation..."
Michael Donovan, in his open letter, The Fall of Norfolk, named Kernan as the "political" general who could be counted upon to watch his words.
Wondering why the Iranians themselves were not invited to rehearse the invasion. Think that might be a little too cheeky?

War Games Rigged? by Sean D. Naylor

Problem has been always the reliance on "technicel" superiority and possibly there is even another factor "involved", if you are capable of reading in between the lines: All is prefabricated and the "result" of a "war" is predetermined before it starts off. Iraq anyone? Tell me, WHY weren't deployed "enough" troops to make everything clear from the beginning and WHY was Saddam, the Hussein left in power after the first war?
War is only an "excuse" for political goals. It always has been. The decisions about "who to win" are made between the "opposing" parties on the green tables always BEFORE the weapons start to shout.
Soldiers and civilians are dying? Who gives a damn. Let "them" just "play" while we secure our assets...
