I remember Sadam saying he would wipe out the US forces. And look what happened to him, jiggling at the end of a rope.
Don't care who you are or how many troops you have, anyone goes up against the full force of the US military and there going to die.
These folk have no idea, there ametuers, cannon fodder.
When the Blue fleet sailed into the Persian Gulf early in the experiment, Van Riper's forces surrounded the ships with small boats and planes sailing and flying in apparently innocuous circles.
As the Blue commander issued an ultimatum to Red to surrender or face destruction, Van Riper took the initiative, issuing attack orders via the morning call to prayer broadcast from the minarets. His force's small boats and aircraft sped immediately into action and... "...By that time there wasn't enough time left to intercept them," Oakley stated further. So the outcome of this "wicked" action was that the Blue navy ended up at the bottom of the Persian Gulf. All at sudden the Joint Forces Command officials stopped the exercise and "refloated" the fleet in order to continue, Oakley said.
Lieutenant General Paul K. Van Riper, who retired in 1997 as head of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command, is well known as a frequent player in military war games and was invented to lead the OPFOR.
