Again, our days of hiding behind our oceans is long gone. We either engage our adversaries and their acolytes at distance or we end up doing it here.
I was not in favor of either war, particularly not Iraq - I never bought Bush’s rationale. But I trained the men who went and visited our wounded when they got back ( I did volunteer to go but I was told “we’ll send you once we lose a few lieutenant colonels”).
But, like Vietnam, our enemies saw us fight and they took our measure when we demonstrated courage and persistence even when our own people turned against us.
What did you think - that the Soviets just quit? They saw us fight a lot longer and harder than they thought we could.
