How about we look at reality and admit that we haven’t had the courage of our convictions since 1941. When you try War on the cheap and gutlessly you get a meatgrinder. We’re literally afraid of the optics of War so we start up the grinder, tie our own hands with idiotic ROE then we cut out or go on forever. Trump, being a real person versus a platitude spouting political robot, has sickened of the exercise, just as, no doubt, you would.
Still with the meat grinder?
How many enemies have we taken out in the Middle East? 100,000+?
The US Military doesn’t like to say.
There is your meat grinder.
