I sense:
That you wish US Victory..
That you are sincere..
No evidence of the propagandist in your comments, mistaken as I belive some of them are.. You and they merit a considered and respectful response from me..
Please be patient and I will have it forthcoming. This is hard stuff for me to articulate.
If folks can come to understand how Vietnam was an unprecidented Strategic Victory for the United States.
How Iraq has been a Strategic Defeat so far.
If Americans can wrap their heads around that. If we can get our Leaders to actually fight. (Two very big ‘ifs”)
Victory in Afganistan will be relatively simple.
Victory over Islamofacisim assured.

How Iraq has been a Strategic Defeat so far.
I would be very interested in hearing (reading) your argument on this, particularly about Vietnam. I don't actually think Vietnam was a defeat, there were things that could have been done better but I want to hear you out.
Getting our leaders to actually fight would be a very great thing. We're not playing to our strength as a great power, part of the reason for this is I genuinely think we are waiting for the Taliban to come to the table and attempt to make Afghanistan work rather than destroy them utterly, this thinking is wrong in my view (as I strongly suspect it is in yours).
I mean it btw, lmk what your reasoning is for Vietnam and Iraq, either post it in a reply or send it FRmail, I'm looking forward to reading it.
