What we seem to have going here is the Carter economy of the 70s (with potential to be far worse) and the LBJ war strategy of the 60s- the worst of both. LBJ had similiar directives and during the height of the Vietnam War about 500 of our military were dying every week. For those of you too young to remember, that is not a typo- our losses really were that high.
This is a recipe for disaster and a lose/lose situation for our troops. If they follow these directives many more will die. If they do not follow the directives many will face Court Martial for failure to follow orders.
Absolutely correct. I had to read the article twice to be sure I wasn't having a flash back. Thought for a minute LBJ was still President. This is pure madness and we need to stop it!! I pray for our troops that are unfortunate enough to have Zero as their Commander in Chief.
