Hi,
The flaw in it is that, according to some in the Army, the 1991 War in the Gulf was less difficult than the training they had to do to be prepared.
Perhaps war has become too bloodless. Accidents aside, the purpose of training does not include death or injury. The purpose of war does. And that makes the real thing a bit more critical -- it's for keeps.
