“We never would have won WWII with the current ROE.”
The Iraq war ended when Saddam was captured and the war in Germany ended when Hitler died.
The regime in charge of Iraq is a US ally. The war is over and they are saying that they don’t need any more help.
When you consider the fact that any further assistance would have to be paid for with borrowed money, this should be seen as a positive development.
guess you don’t much history....We decided to launch the Marshall plan after WWII so that we wouldn’t have a repeat of what happened to Europe, and Germany , after WWI.
Besides, Germany rebuilt made a whole lot more economic sense for us!
Now we uses our ‘bases’ there, ie Landstuhl,
to have a fast way to get our injured military medical care and we use various “bases’ in many countries to “launch “ our military offenses.
