Chinks in Their Armor?

If you look at almost anything long enough, there is always a down side. So, the Wall Street Journal has found a downside to Russia's demolition of Georgia. In fact, they have found two downsides - weapons and training. The tanks used by Russia were vintage 1971, although they did use 21st century smart bombs. Their planes were flying too low because their pilots receive 60 hours of training compared to NATO's 150.

And, most embarassingly, a general was wounded, which, I guess, has never happened to us.
