This one is a real war, with enemies that are trying to kill us, and have.
It's become a PR "war", not a real war. When we carpet-bomb Fallujah, flatten any mosques that look at us sideways, ignore Koran-peeing questions and utterly destroy towns harboring terrorists - then it's a real war.
Driving back and forth in convoys, getting picked off day by day, isn't a "real war" because the terrorist population isn't crapping its pants at the sight of us. They need to be doing so; assuming their family history ends with them if they get out of line.
We're going to take another big hit here at home, count on it, before we get serious about wiping out terrorist Moos.
