I bet the ROE, and overall strategy will change once these “top” politicians and generals start getting targeted like the grunts in the field do. Things will change real quick when they start taking out field grade officers and commanders - watch. It’s all good to be friends with the Muhammedians and sounds awesome on paper - until it’s your own ass on the line. So much for “hearts and minds”.
FTR, in Iraq we lost 4221 during Bush's term and 233 during Zero's term, with a troop level high of 170,000 under Bush to less than 50,000 under Zero.
In Afghanistan, we lost 630 Americans from 2001 to 2008 and 965 from 2009 until the present time (although we went from about 38,000 troops when Zero took office to approximately 100,000 now).
So we're losing our beloved troops today at about the same rate as when that "evil Bush" was in office, and all we hear from the media is....crickets. Disgusting pigs!
