I think people forget about how long it took to root out Germnay and Japan after WWII. I didn't happen overnight. The LSM only talks about the negatives. With freerepublic, and posts from the frontline, we'd never hear of the successful events. The history channel show I was telling you about was one of the only shows I have seen that showed the troops in a positive light.
I wasn't even born during the Vietnam war. I can only image the doom and gloom being reported. No freerepublic or internet Centcom briefings back then.
Based on your tagline, it looks like you'll be home for Labor Day.
Yes, we're dealing with the "Instant Gratification Crowd." They think it should be just like the movies. We go in, we invade, we conquer the regime and then everybody lives happily ever after.
This is a different kind of war. The president, the SECDEF and anyone else connected to it has said that from the beginning. Funny how people won't listen to them, but they'll hang loyally onto every deceptive word the media spews forth.
Actually, I leave in less than two weeks and I'm headed to London. (I know, I know...we planned it before 7/7 and we're not gonna back down...LOL) I'll be arriving back in the Sandbox just before Labor Day.
Care to source that bit of misinformation?
BTW, you appear to think the "War" is over?
