Reply #8: Grozny2000-How would US forces do under similar circumstances?

[jmcgowanjm]

During a recent speech the US Army Chief of Staff reiterated
his interest in four points regarding US war fighting
concepts: initiate combat on our terms, at a time, place
and method of our choosing; gain the initiative and
never surrender it; build operational momentum over time;
and win as rapidly as possible. Would these criteria apply in
the case of urban operations such as Grozny? The short
answer appears to be no.
