Can you define what constitutes 'victory'?

Yes I can. It begins with our borders. I and many others on this thread have correctly identified one of America’s greatest weaknesses is our open borders. To date we have allowed some 20-30 million illegal immigrants in and the results to our economy and welfare roles have been disastrous.
But more than that, the flow of drugs accross the Rio Grande has created a drug culture in the US that is destroying us.
What are our options in fighting the War on drugs? Should we surrender and let the cartels win and face the economic and social problems of millions of new users? That’s the cowards way out.
No, instead we should fight. And I mean FIGHT. I do agree that our current WOD is a failure. But only because state and federal agents are not allowed to do their jobs.
As in any war, we need a strong military to do the job. We need the military on our borders to 1)stop the inflow of illegals and 2)stop the millions of pounds (billions of dollars) of illegal drugs.
This is just a start. I would hesitate to send armed forces into our ghettos and slums to fight the cartels already entrenched here in the US, but if we contol our borders, then real reductions in drug usage will happen.
