It's utter tripe and I rip his book good in my new book, "America's Victories: Why the U.S. Wins Wars and Will Win the War on Terror."

A synopsis of the book also appears in the September issue of "American Legion" magazine: http://www.legion.org/?section=publications&subsection=pubs_mag_index&content=pub_mag_history

Bacevich seems to me to be someone who wanted to arrive at a conclusion -- that America should retreat from the world -- then set about twisting an argument to reach the desired conclusion.

Intellectually, his argument is obtuse.

If George Washington had been listening to somebody like Bacevich, we'd still be remitting our taxes to London.
