I can't help but wonder who are the military tactics experts among the Democrats in Congress that are so much smarter than our commanders in the field. The Dems wouldn't know which end of a gun the bullet comes out of, let alone how many troops it takes to fight a counter insurgency.
Bringing more troops than are necessary to a war only leads to more casualties.
