Let's see what some military experts say about Yellow Elephant Fred
Stone's measure shall we?
==============================
Conrad Crane, director of the Military History Institute at the U.S.
Army War College: “It was a pretty useless statistic that did more
harm than good.”
Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, on attempt to quantify success in Grenada:
“We need to stay away from this body count business. It caused us
terrible trouble in Vietnam and it will cause us terrible trouble
here.”
Gen. Tommy Franks, 3/18/02: “You know we don’t do body counts.”
Sec. Donald Rumsfeld, 11/2/03: “We don’t do body counts on other
people.”
The Washington Post, however, reported last week:
Using enemy body counts as a benchmark, the U.S. military claimed
gains against Abu Musab Zarqawi’s foreign-led fighters last week even
as they mounted their deadliest attacks on Iraq’s capital.
