We may need more planes; I’m a firm believer in the position that firepower overkill is just getting to be the minimum acceptable level!
HOWEVER, I also think we should let the soldiers do the soldiering. People were attacking John McCain for simply trying to give the DOD what they wanted. I’m not in the CoC now, and I bet none in this thread are, either (at least in any meaningful way).
Rather than have Congress second-guess what the needs of the military are, I’d prefer to have the military tell us then have Congress authorize what’s asked for. Beating up McCain because he was responding to what the military asked for is, IMHO, a bad move on our part.
