    Exactly!

    First of all, Who ever advised the Georgian Govt. to roll the Army into South Ossetia better be back at Langley working on a change of address.

    Remember that Most of the Georgian Senior NCO's and Field Grade Officers were part of the Old Soviet Army. They knew that if Mother Russia ever rolled south, SHTF would be an understatement. Surviving Georgian Army units would be cut off from any re-supply and it would be impossible to find 5.56 NATO on Dead/Captured Russians or from Russian Supply Convoys/Depots. AK makes good sense.

    No battleplan survives first contact with the enemy!

    You probably need to look no further than Arlington on that one. Either way, the Georgian's did not give a good accounting of themselves.

    I wonder what the Georgians down the street here in Baghdad were thinking as they headed to the airport? Probably something along the lines of "Oh God let the Mahdi Army hit us so we don't have to fight the Russians".

    It will be awhile before we see a factual AAR.

    I met a few Georgian Soldiers at a Joint NATO exercise in Lithuania in 2004, they would have done well to pass the Girl Scout PT test (yes I know this does not represent the whole). Maybe the AD USMC guys have a better take on the Georgian Army since they were on the ground not too long ago.

    On the other hand It would be tough for anyone to invade Lithuania, (some bad dudes in that Army) and tough to leave.... The most Beautiful Women I have ever seen.

    Do those count as "fixed" bushmasters?

    And I don't think it was quite a cakewalk for mother russia.
