(You were with Lynch per any chance?)
It was what? 30 KIA and 60 WIA from memory. A battalion is 800 or so men so thats quite a big loss for them. Plus you are forgetting that the USMC had absolutely uncontested air support, something which won't be guaranteed versus Syria, for the first few days at any rate. The Syrians are not going to sit and let the USAF hit them before launching a ground war, everyone learned the inadvisability of that in 1991.
Your problem is that you seem to think that when I say that the US would suffer proportionally greater losses in a war with Syria, I am somehow comparing the Syrians to the Red Army in Europe. Its as if an experienced if limited bantamweight versus a heavyweight. You expect the heavyweight to win easily. I agree. I say that I do expect the bantamweight to be ab;e to get a few punches, perhaps a few hard ones before going down, fairly quickly. You use that to claim that I am saying that, the bantamweight was like Mike Tyson in his prime.
And thats an "AmeriScrew"?
