Have you done this, Tulsa Ramjet? Have you? Because I have, and that isn't what I have heard as the main or even a major issue from the soldiers there.
You are entitled to your opinion. But please don't push it on everyone else as sanctimonious fact.

I'm partially "there" pal. In Kandahar, right now. I hear it about my brothers and sisters just a bit to the west in Bagdad.
Where are YOU? Reading Op-Eds and FreeRepublic gaining invaluable SA? Puhleez.

Its irrelevant now, but both generals Powell, Shesneski, and a host of others expressed concerns on how many troops were going in.
Soooooooooo....we need enough to fight for a long time. The combatant elements will slowly morph to Spec Ops and Air taskings because its obvious our nation does not have the stomach for a slow burn return. Sadly, it seems our nation's resolve is only best after we are attacked. But then our troops and commanders only have a two year window to wrap things up to get ready for the parade. We aren't going to have another parade for a long time. Everytime we are to commit to war, it should be for total annihilation of the enemy. Much like spraying fire ants in the backyard. I am astounded that we are in negotiations with an unwilling country to stop their march to nuclear weapons, and their leaders want to wipe another country off the map. I guess the UN lets anyone in these days.
Sorry to pounce. Saw that you served, and greatly appreciate your service.
