Andy,

Yep, its on Page 5 of the General Forum. Look under the column marked "Thread Starter". It's under revwardoc and is titled "A disguise idea rejected by Saddam Hussein".

I'll have to find that book. It seems he's the only one who claims to have proof.

MD,
A member of my Rev War re-enactment regiment is from England and states basically the same thing about English military history. He says that when he went to school over there, they had volumes of text books about English history every year and in America we get one, and we're lucky if we finish it during a school year! And the American Rev War (they call it the rebellion of the American colonies) and the War of 1812 are basically footnotes. Ironically, they made the same mistake in both wars, they captured our capitol (Philadelphia and Washington, DC respectively) and thought they had won the war. You'd think they would've learned. And thanks for the tip about Ebay.
