By now I am sure that most have heard that the Iraqis prepared for this war by "studying" the movie "Black Hawk Down". It has occured to me that they would have been much better off to watch the movie "Patton". They would have seen Patton throw his Armored corp into the flank of the Germans attempt at an armored thrust into the Allied lines (Battle of the bulge), thus learning that you do not stop a major armored breakthrough with uncoordinated suicide attacks on the weak flank.
They also would have heard Patton say;
"You do not win a war by dying for your country, you win wars by making the other poor b@st@rt die for his country"
I guess that it is a good thing for us they did not pay attention to this old classic!
