It should be pointed out that the American people now have the resolve to fight through a grand total of about 2 weeks of World War II before waving the White Flag and surrendering. If they’ll get off of their couches and put down the potato chips long enough to get up and pick up the flag. Yeah, the absense of historical perspective in the general populace annoys me. Royally.

The war would have been over years ago if there was a united front at home. It's only because the democrats are such POS's that the jihadists keep getting their hopes up.

Amen, brother.

I read an interesting article the other day, can’t seem to find it now, but it was talking about demographics being destiny. Chilling, in that it pointed out that smaller family size (fewer sons) meant considerably less tolerance for societies willing to engage in activity that would risk the loss of those sons. Guess which side is producing 5 or 6 kids per woman?

Given this, our Armed Forces will have to be smarter and more deadly as we progress through the 21st Century. I think at some point the American public may demand that all our potential force (i.e., nuclear) against a conventional opponent.
