Thanks for posting that...
I hate to say this..but even though he is right about the divisiveness in America being so bad...
My first thought after reading the second link...was, "and who do you think you are?"
IOW...I feel like he took it upon himself to start some group to do what?? He says in the article that experts have all said we can't leave there while it is like it is...
So...are these "fresh eyes" of some of the oddest choices of people...supposed to tell our MILITARY how to fight a war??
I don't get it...he himself admits that we can't leave the country to chaos...it would be too dangerous for our national security...and he insists he is looking forward, not backward.
It seems to me...that this is something to be discussed with the MILITARY...not a bunch of out of work people that want to feel relevant again.
Politicians sticking their noses into a war was our biggest mistake during the Vietnam War.
