The Russian military brass are on the front lines and therefore more likely to be killed. The US military brass are in some faraway air conditioned room evaluating the situation. General Flynn was fighting the cognitive dissonance of our brass who were unable to discern expectations vs reality. Afghanistan is the perfect example of this reality.

We should have played the peacemaker but the neocons are nothing but plotting warmongers. They infiltrate both parties but represent neither. McCain & Lindsey are perfect examples. Step outside the box, son.
