Good article. Unfortunately since the end of WWII, the last "Declared War" we have not learned the very first lesson. No foreign adventures without that "Declaration". The Constitution requires it.
With that we would have to use the military for what it is intended to do - kill people and blow stuff up! Do it in the quickest time possible, with the least cost in lives and money. For the Constitution also states that the Declared Wars shall only be funded for two years.
We can't tell our people to head to the mall and that the government will take care of the war.
Since WWII we have expended not only billions of dollars but also wasted over 119,000 of our soldiers with close to 328,000 wounded.
So, "What are we doing? Is it ever going to mean anything?" Sadly "we" don't seem to know what we are doing and it will continue to be such a waste of our treasure!
But the folks will still go to the mall and reelect the politicians who refuse to follow the Constitution!
"America, where are you now?"
Our enemies think we are nearing defeat. I however believe otherwise. Americans are slow to anger. When angered Americans will never be defeated, unless, an act of God is to happen. Americans have yet to fight a war since WWII where "we" have been victorious. This is all too true. When the time comes though, in spite of ourselves, Americans will not surrender. "We" may defeat ourselves by actions and deeds, or God may will it to so, though I believe God loves America. God, helped correct most of our faults, in the blood of our fellow countrymen and women. Will God turn his back on America? Don't know, but "we" are about to find out, and soon.
