Gen Franks identified and indicated to Rumsfeld that the older plans were outdated. Rumsfeld and Franks agreed that the plans should be updated, and worked feverishly to do so. This report is incomplete/incorrect.
@paindeer Yeah, a guy who spent years in the mud in Viet Nam, and has a 30+ year career in the military, revolutionizing modern military tactics, mobility and communications, shouldn't have a drink one night after working 15 hour days for weeks on end, missing his entire daughter's life because he was dedicated to his CENTCOM obligations. Throw him in the clink.
The hybrid was and is, pure sewage.
It is worse than a Market Garden, designed to fail.
Franks and everyone in on it down to the rank of colonel, did not turn in their stars over it.
Shame on them, forever.

Drinking while war planning ?

@silvermediastudio
Actually last I checked we was dedicated to Bank of America over Afghanistan. In fact, he left Afghanistan 'project' to go discover banking.
The ends justifies the means.
