Bacevich Sr. emboldened the enemy by telling them that America is being defeated and we don't belong in the Middle East to begin with. Bacevich Jr. was killed by those receptive to that message. The son paid for the sins of the father.

Was this before or after OBL & crew killed 3,000 people on American soil? I'd say they were pretty bold before we were feeding our armed forces into a meat grinder in Iraq.

Should all war critics lose a child? Would that please you?

Bacevich Sr. emboldened the enemy by telling them that America is being defeated...

Was this before or after OBL & crew killed 3,000 people on American soil?

OBL and crew were inspired by American defeatism long before 9/11. They looked at our losses in Vietnam, Lebanon, and Somalia and calculated that we cannot accept long wars or significant casualties. In each of those instances, politicians caved to pressure brought on by a defeatist American news media, and people like Bacevich Sr.

Yes. Absolutely.
