Found this randomly, it is interesting to read.

Also, Van Riper was a CO in one of my units at one point in the 90's.  Don't remember which, but I know I met him.

...... I think he was a CO when I was in tech school.

I like that he said, "Fuck this," and quit, because they were cheating so hard.

Navy Captain John Carman, Joint Forces Command spokesman, said the war game had properly validated all the major concepts which were tested by Blue Force, ignoring the restrictions placed on Van Riper's Red Force that led them to succeed.

No word on when the Navy will start having its sailors swim marathons against paraplegics, you know, just to validate some major concepts of semi-aquatic locomotion.
