We don’t fight wars to win anymore...we fight them to make friends....that is the problem.
“We don’t fight wars to win anymore...we fight them to make friends....that is the problem.”
Now THAT we agree on 100%. To interject a note of disagreement into an otherwise happy moment, I have to say that this is WHY I can support Paul’s foreign policy even though I disagree with the notion that we might not project our military strength abroad. Because I don’t feel like we allow our military to fight with all the tools that could be at their disposal, as part of the objective these days is to become buddies with our enemies. Doesn’t work. Never did. Never will. If our country doesn’t have the stomach to fight to win wars of attrition, given the measures that might be necessary—and it hasn’t proven that it does have that will, going back to the Philippine Insurrection—we shouldn’t even be considering fighting unless national defense is at stake directly. We only embarrass our nation and endanger its soldiers when we tie their hands.
