Yeah, right. I can see the recruiting drive right now--"Join the military, deploy to the other side of the world, live in shitty conditions, and have no contact with your family for at least a year! Sign up today!"
Either it is a war or it isn’t, no half way between.
It hasn't been a war since Tora Bora. It's a counterinsurgency operation, unless you were in 5/2 SBCT, then it was a counterguerilla operation.
So glad our military has devolved into the best equipped touchy, feely force on earth.
Before long we will be making the French Army looking like a crack elite fighting force.
It is no wonder these illiterate third worlders are kicking our ass everywhere we go and destroying our 5 million dollar tanks with 500 bucks worth of HE and a spool of wire.
Bring them home or get serious about the mission.
