If I may. It isn't defeatist, jveritas, it's let our soldiers do what has to be done to finish the job they were tasked to do. He's only saying(if i'm interpreting him correctly)don't tie their hands behind their backs as they get murdered by terrorist day in and day out. That's not right. Terrorist follow no rules of war. Rules of war were made by countries, some with a touch of honor. Terrorist don't follow the Geneva Convention rules. Terrorist have no rules. Our soldiers are paying the price for trying to use the rule of war against an enemy who has none. How do they win a war like that, how?
