My personal favorite is the "glorious" invasion of Grenada.  The sole
purpose of the mission was the give the US one for the "win" column,
and yet they managed to screw that one up.

- Deployed troops so quickly in at least one case they left without
their commanding officer

- Had SEALS drown because they dropped them in the wrong spot

- Paratrooped an entire division of 200 rangers on top of a Grenadian
position, who could have burned them all before they set foot on the
ground had they not been told to hold their fire

- Didn't bother to find out the location of the campus where the
students they were supposed to be rescuing (from what, I have no idea)
were at.

- Shelled a mental asylum

- Deployed troops without radios, so when they got there they just sat
there trying to figure out what they were supposed to do next

- Didn't bother to get MAPS of the country they were invading

- Issued infantry 100-pound backpacks in the middle of a Caribbean
summer.

- Sent a squad of SEALS to "rescue" the British ambassador, who then
got stuck on a roof and had to be rescued themselves


And these idiots are supposed to be protecting US?

The day the US decides to invade Canada, Mexico better watch out.

Does that sound like Miss South Carolina during her little
speech??
