I think this person raises some interesting points, but he does it in such a caustic manner that it can only inflame readers, not engage them.

I am curious about the "40 years" of bombing people in the Middle East. What American military operations have been ongoing in the Middle East for 40 years that involved bombing?

Is this author really that ignorant of military operational reality and history generally, or just using provocative language for its own sake?

And BTW, I served. So did lots of other people. Lots didn't. So what?

Re: 40 years of (US) bombings in the Middle East?!

I seriously doubt that this writer is what he claims to be -- a CIA veteran -- since I'm sure that he can't point to a US "bombing" in the Middle East taking place any time between 1964 and Reagan's Libya Raid.

If you ask me, the US has shown remarkable restraint -- up till now that is...
