How one dramatard messed up a U.S invasion <ay caramba

A summary with this video as the main resource

Some of the plans discussed with marseys !!!

Some the characters

Rumsfeld, secretary of defense involving himself in all plans because...

Made a bunch of criteria and basically just wants a medal

Franks, centcom commander and working with Rumsfeld as a tard wrangler.

Initial plan:

>Get all troops over there in 60 days and attack Iraq as troops get into place

>rejected! Don't consider it!

Plan 2 1:

(actual speaker of the house Mcgregor, on the board for "unorthodox thinking". This is (his)story)

>we can take Saddam in 96 hours by shoving a bunch of armor shit into baghdad, 17,000 troops is all Q knows

>This neighbor is brilliant! The generals only use old thinking! Meet the board!

>i dunno

⌄The meeting, 2001. This will determine how U.S forces will strike the terrorist who killed thousands in the largest attack on U.S soil. Full of the most brilliant military strategists and high ranking members:

>So that's mah plan, 17,000 troops following armor assault, WWG1WGA trust the plan

(colonel in the meeting)

>son where's the artillery?

>that shits gay and r-slurred, no need

>I'm not doing this!

The colonel walked out the meeting upon hearing Mcgregor downplay artillery and logistics. That plan was scrapped and Rumsfeld complained that the generals didn't understand innovation

------Plan two

February 2002:

>Get all troops over there in 60 days and attack Iraq as troops get in-

>stfu straggit, you don't understand shit!

>I WANT THAT PLAN TO TAKE ONLY 30 DAYS!

didn't understand that it takes 21 days to sail from the United states to kuwait

realized that to suit the man (a member of !r-slurs ) they needed foreign bases and so a coalition began being put together.

As Franklin was touring the middle east for potential allies, centcom was trying to formulate a plan for Rumsfeld. In Spring of 2002, half a year since 9/11, members of centcom were outed as moles and expelled from the planning team for feeding Rumsfeld confidential information.

Rumsfeld interference in the planning of the military impeded progress as he attempted to micromanage everything. He even didn't initially want any real air involvement as he was certain in taking control of Iraq in 45-60 days at most.

------Plan 3: running start----

>okay, 18,000 troops, right, chillin in kuwait. Will take only 25 days to assemble them, then boom they r*pe Iraq

>that's incredibly hazardous innit? You guys even got a plan for tea o'er there?

>we need a larger force and more time for buildup and logi

>legacy thinking OH MY GOD! LET ME DO WHAT I WANT!

Eventually in September a ground commander guy was assigned and he thought all this was r-slurred. He wargamed current plans and designed a better one called Cobra 2, which sounds cool and also had more manpower and additional Marine regiments.

Franks liked the plan as it wasn't suicidal and Rumsfeld also liked it. As planning proceeded though Rumsfeld tried cutting down on the number of troops and wanted to avoid reservists until neccessary.

Then a chink spoke to congress in 2003

>herro! We need one hunded thousan to control Irack when Hussein dead

>NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was speculated by military higher ups that Rumsfeld thought reservists would be fighting in the front when they'd be handling controlled areas and securing supply lines.

But our boomertard had backup, yes. GlowBIPOCs said that divisions of the Iraqi army would switch teams and being fighting for America, home of the free, when shit hit. Plans were then made assuming Iraqi armymen and rebels would help a fair bit as coalition forces, under , would be overexerted alone.

Less than a brigade of men were recruited.

While planning, Turkey had denied access for the 4th division that'd be attacking from their borders into Iraq. A meeting as held to determine what to do as that was vital to the plan

>keep them in the sea

>why, we can bring them to kuwait to help

>iraqi's will be left guessing!

The fourth division being in the northern sea had no effect on the campaign and was just lost manpower

and finally, in March 2003, the invasion began.
