Remember when Bush went into Iraq, people kept talking about mission creep, and exit strategy?
Crickets in 2022 :(
Great point. I do remember that. I do not have a very good feeling about how this current creep is going to end up.
In 70-72, Chief Infantry Branch sent me back to college for two years around to finish my degree. I was very lucky. Bush 1 and 2 both knew zip. Hussein had Iran in check.
Then we used one well thought out mission with two SF A teams leading the Northern Alliance and those south. In a few months they won. When is the regular Army going to understand that UW is not their business? Look at all those we have had KIA and/or lost limbs from IED’s. Damn sad.
