I agree. But, having military credentials doesn't by default make any ammount of second guessing more accurate. Suffice to mention all the retired military officers in the media who went into full panic mode during the war proper last year during the sandstorm.
It is a complicated world. It is the privilege of very few, if any, to make accurate calls of a foggy and rapidly changing landscape.
It just strikes me as odd how often some people here resort to refering to people's military service records, when they express a dissenting viewpoint. Is is a preview of the Presidential campaign?
Can only people who have served two terms in congress put in their two cents on congressional politics?
That said, I think we are pretty much on the same page. I just wanted to put of a slight defense for pathetic boobs like myself who want to express their opinion :-)
God bless the brave coalition soldiers!
Have a good night.
Cheers.
No problem. looking at your screen name I surmise you are in the UK or Europe, my original comments on the armchair generals here on FR was a take off on a famous TV cough syrup commercial in the States, where a TV doctor states,
"I am not a Doctor, but I play one on TV".
God bless the brave coalition soldiers!
Have a good night.
Cheers
To you also and God look over the brave soldiers in the field.
