    Brigadier Nigel Aylwin-Foster, via Cole, annecdotes:

    this verdict partly reflects the difference in perspectives of scale between the U.S. and her Coalition allies, arising from different resourcing levels. For example, during preparatory operations in the November 2004 Fallujah clearance operation, on one night over forty 155mm artillery rounds were fired into a small section of the city. Given the intent to maintain a low profile prior to the launch of the main operation, most armies would consider this bombardment a significant event. Yet it did not feature on the next morning’s update to the 4-Star Force Commander: the local commander considered it to be a minor application of combat power

    Speaks of a whole nation we see through a pinhole pointed at our own navel, I think.

    And yes, blogging is light. We got a uke for xmas: everything is bright sunny and warm.
