I know nothing about her except that she looks her age. But if she’s a big-time lib, why am I just finding out about that now? Remember P4 was supposedly some kind of genius, and the left was hating him.

We have lower standards for military success these days. In the old days P4 would not even rank. Their were many nameless British officers with their Indian Sepoys and Martini Henry rifles who subdued these same foes over 100 years ago. They would march into Waziristan and lay waste to the villages and crops of the recalcitrant tribes. The tribes would submit within a few months. P4 with the resources and technology of a 21st Century superpower cannot accomplish what Tommy Atkins did in the 19th Century. Generals Roberts and Wolseley would consider him a loser.
