The Rule of LGOPs

[Badger52]

Not really comedy, but it did bring a smile to my face. Hope I didn't miss this with the search.

Found this over the weekend. Thinking back to D-Day, Market-Garden and forward how the American Soldier has persevered in the absence of key leaders or being micro-managed. That, along with Don Burgett's comments (from German POWs) that one of our strengths was that we blast-away less & tend to use aimed rifle fire to actually destroy the enemy.

Hope it brings a smile to someone else as well.
Salud.

On a similar note, I had heard this when I was a private but after searching for 30 minutes I couldn't find much on it on the internet.

I always liked it and it always inspired me to think outside the box. i.e. as long as you have Security Support and Assault, you can adapt that to ANY mission you have. And you can attack your problem in any manner you want as long as you maintain the basics.

The Soviets themselves have said, the hardest thing about learning how to fight the Americans is that they don't follow their own doctrine.

I use Google...it's a pretty cool search engine. This site came up first.

One of the serious problems in planning the fight against American doctrine, is that the Americans do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligation to follow their doctrine...

Yeah, I use bing for 99% of my searches. Google is the IT arm of the DNC.
