” Lets bring our guys home “
This is the ‘surrender cry ‘ of the Left .
I know a lot of soldiers and Marines , and not one , repeat NOT ONE like to work under all these ROEs and almost assure no victory , no matter hard well they perform or how hard they fight or how many buddies they lose . They ALL want to get in there and kick ass and take names . NONE want to be withdrawn due to civilian leadership ambivalence and failure of resolve . They could give a rats ass what the UN wants . They want to WIN , they want to kill the enemy and leave the few survivors suing for peace as they crawl from under the smoking ruins . I happen to agree with them . No more Vietnams! Righteous wars lost by clueless civilian leadership . F the CIV leadership ; if they can’t do a good job then get the hell out of the way . This is turning into a war for planet earth , no small thing . Fight to WIN , take the gloves off , reinstate the draft and ready for all out full scale war .
I am no surrender monkey. I am pragmatic.
We get into wars. We fail to follow through.
That’s the fact today.
My idea of us fighting a war is to start on one end of a country and level it through to the other side. And then leave. Take no resources. Give no aid.
That will not happen.
And reinstating the draft now would be unproductive. We don’t need them, and they will just get in the way.
‘We’ fail to follow through....
“we” is the clueless civilian leadership , whom fail to follow through . America’s military campaign should not be led or directed by any civilians . Let the war fighters fight the way they choose to . Pull the lawyers out of the planning , commit our best and most effective weapons systems and get the job done right .
Curtis LeMay , not Jimmy Carter , Patton not Obama
America needs to be led by warriors , not by lawyers .
It’s time for the lawyers to be put out to pasture . Now .
You are delusion. That will never happen and you don’t want it to happen.
You watch too many movies.
I absolutely want that to happen .
I am not delusional .
I do not watch any movies ( since Lone Survivor )
This is the time for our war fighters to come forth
and the civilians to step aside .
My point is you are describing a military dictatorship. That never ends well. Our nation was founded with the idea of civilian leadership. We need better leadership, not more Generals.
And Lone Survivor came out about six months ago...that’s pretty recent.
Even your hero Patton needed to be controlled from overstepping his reach. The same with dugout Doug in the Pacific. If we had allowed them to run wild there would be millions of generatios dead, and the world would mostly consist of nuclear hot zones.
