George Patton would be rolling over in his grave.
Americans are in it to win. Tit-for-tat? Sounds like a politically correct “you live to fight another day” war.
If we had fought World War II like that, we’d be speaking German today and hailing the Fuhrer!
No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country
“... and hailing the Fuhrer...”
Sadly, there are those in this country today doing exactly that.
>>Americans are in it to win.
The official policy of the US government since 1945 is NOT “in it to win it”! It will let the troops win for while, but always insists on spending a gazillion dollars to fight primitive savages to a draw and will sacrifice as many American lives as it takes to make the people on college campuses and newsrooms demand our surrender.
