Subject: Do you not realize our military is over 4 years...

Into a war that has diminished our military equipment
infrastructure...not to mention the fact that we have about half the
troops we had in the 80's?? I think the Russians know it and welcome
it. Our Army and Marines are just about worn out...especially their
equipment. Our Navy and Air Force are probably in good shape but
it's the tanks, artillery, and ground forces that would be paramount
to this conflict. Russia is doing what they're doing precisely
because they know we posses a somewhat depleted military right now.
