Don Shepperd Quotations

We know where our people are and can command and control them,

No one else can bring this overwhelming advantage, ... We can see and know where the enemy is and they cannot see and know where we are. They are fighting blind.

But digging the soldiers out of the trenches, out of the mountains and out of the caves is going to be prolonged activity because it's very difficult,

It can spread through these tunnel complexes and, in many cases, without actually destroying them, ... So it'll kill the people that are in there, but it won't collapse the cave. Then you can go in and find out what's in there, (that's) the idea behind these, if it works perfectly.

You must have overwhelming force at the point of contact, ... That can be numbers of troops, superior knowledge, intelligence or firepower.

The command over there basically distributes the armored vehicles to those they think that need them the most, ... Everybody would like to have one, but there's simply not enough in theater right now.
