wm---you mentioned a number of posts ago that USAREUR/USECOM did not doubt they could stop a Soviet attack and I responded that I was not sure you understood the conditions in Europe up to 1989 and why Reforger was doomed to fail because USECOM could not hold the Soviet up long enough to get US based troops over in time.

This link confirms what I mentioned when I indicated that it was up to selected SF teams to try to slow them down until help arrived.
