I do not conflate Occam's razor with ignorance,lack of imagination and plain stupidity.


EG That genius William Westmoreland used simple military logic in Vietnam. He was still playing chess in WW2. The Vietnamese were playing Go and humiliated the US. Stanley McChrystal is making the same mistakes in Afghanistan.The US will be handed its head, again..

PS: I also served as a grunt and would not have the chutzpah to use army logic as an example of anything,apart from an oxymoron.
