One of the reasons for a long war these days is because our politicians don’t know how or don’t have the will to fight a war. All we have to do is look at the Rules of Engagement. We need generals like Patton and others like him. We need our politicians to give our generals an objective and to tell them to get the job done, without telling them how to do it.
We are not going to change thousands of years of culture in the middle east without showing over whelming numbers and power. The way we have prosecuted this war goes against everything history has taught us.
Your post is right on!
It has been my belief for the long period of years since I served on active duty in the U. S. Army that there is not ONE job in the military that can’t be performed by a uniformed, active-duty military personnel. The Pentagon is chock full of leftist, looney, homosexual civilians who have as their underlings uniformed military personnel.
In the case of those soldiers who are wounded, instead of returning them to a life of pity, should be trained to perform many of those jobs being screwed up by the worthless civilians.
