Lash, maybe you could define what "End of major combat operations" means?

It has nothing to do with deaths. It has to do with what you are doing with your equipment and personnel. Its military terminology--so, I understand why you liberals don't understand.

The major combat operations had ceased.

So, when Bush said

Quote:

The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror

while standing in front of a banner reading "Mission Accomplished", he really just wanted to say, hey, look, we are going to do something with our equipment and personnel?

I wonder if the dead soldiers and civilians understand that they have been killed after the war was over, and if they care overly much?

NeoConSpeak:

"Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. The battle of Iraq is one victory."

[military terminology] referring to equipment and personnel.
Cannot be translated as: "The war is over."/"Combat operations are over."/"Mission accomplished."

keeping the "peace"

synonym: minor combat operations
[military terminology] referring to equipment and personnel.
Cannot be translated as: "Peacekeeping mission."

Walter - can you clarify what you meant by that post?

Well, the published an esssay I wrote about military terminology, some years ago in the Navy's magazine. :wink:

However, since I usually point out that I've never been in the military but in the Navy .... Laughing

Well, Walter, why didn't you jump in when OE asked what "major combat operations" were?

I'd be interested in hearing what you have to say. Even if you were just in the navy. :wink:

Well, McG, as a social-democrat I even understand far less then liberals - no point, to be made a mock of by Lash et. al. military specialists voluntarily.

I see.

You'd rather contribute sarcasm instead of substance it seems.

0 Replies

Well, I try to bring myself into line with the substance-less responses of a few here.

Instead, you should rise above all of it and contribute. Especially if you have specific information on the material being discussed.

McG, I for one would be interested in your definition of "major combat operations".

I gave it previously.

Now I am waiting to see if Walter will give his impressions.

Why wouldn't you be as equally curious Geli?

I thought Walter answered when he said he was in the navy .... if you are recieving and returning fire, that would, in my mind, constitute major combat. How is it not?

Walter says he is a published author on military terminology, but now seems tentative about discussing military terminology. I figured he could settle this pretty quickly.

Watching to see if this grows any legs.

Excerpt:

Quote:

Russian special forces troops moved many of Saddam Hussein's weapons and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the March 2003 U.S. military operation, The Washington Times has learned. John A. Shaw, the deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security, said in an interview that he believes the Russian troops, working with Iraqi intelligence, "almost certainly" removed the high-explosive material that went missing from the Al-Qaqaa facility, south of Baghdad.

Iraq's supply of those munitions must have been very small. A large convoy moving weapons out of Iraq into Syria would have been detected by our spy planes and no fly zone airmen. It would have resembled the Great Wall from outer space...
