The Republican National Convention in Philadelphia begins in about a week. The GOP had better think hard about the image they want to project to the voters, who are beginning to think about the November general election in the context of the scary news from abroad. And not just from Europe.
“defense” preparations? Homer.....
Hindsight is 20/20.
Watching the Military Channel as we speak. Of the 21,000 Japanese troops on Iwo Jima (Feb 1945), only 200 were taken alive. Hell on Earth, as described by our boys.

I forget who said, “The absence of war is not necessarily peace”.
God Bless our precious Troops - past, present, and future.
