Rumsfeld where are my Legions
In 9 AD 3 Roman Legions known as the Army of the Rhine crossed the Rhine river into the Teoutenberg Forest under Quintas Varus...to suppress a supposed rebellion among the Germanic tribes....Where upon the German Tribes under Armius killed almost to the man the entire 3 Legions including Varus who commited suicide....After the diaster befalling his 3 Legions Augustas Caesar would wander about his palace in Rome muttering..."Varus I want my Eagles back" The Eagle being the standard representing a Roman legion.
I am just wondering if a popular uprising involving millions of Iraqies simtaniously could take down an American Army in the Field...Overwhelming it as it were...After all our Army in Iraq of 135,000 is spread out over a country the size of California with a population of 25 million people...
