I couldn’t watch it. Too much focus on “wrong war, dont know what we are here for, bored , bored, bored, etc etc”
just another low level slam/undermining of the US military by PBS
this time in a more stealth mode

You know, I don’t like the whining or the second-guessing either, but in spite of their misgivings, they do their duty. And I think that shows the strength of those who take an oath and honor it.
The female Navy pilot said as much when she mentioned that the thought of dropping bombs on people was not her favorite thing, but when it came down to dropping bombs on the enemy to support our ground troops, she would do it every time without hesitation.
I don’t think it is a negative that our fighting men and women question their own motives and are analytical about the their particular situation. In fact, I have had this discussion with my son (a Marine 2ndLt now in flight school): anybody who is in the position to pull a trigger, bayonet at adversary, or drop a bomb must think about the consequences of their actions because, ultimately, they must live with their decision.
In fact, I think this is both the burden and the glory of having a well-trained, professional military.
