Desert Storm started it, and it’s been going on ever since. Our country’s leaders have forgotten the purpose behind having a big stick. Carry a big stick so you WON’T have to use it. Democrat administrations in particular seem to think the military is just another tool in the toolbox, so why not use it, eh? Well, they’re using it up, wearing it out, and NOT paying to maintain it.

When this “war” on terror started I told my wife that we will never win it because we won’t do what it will take to win it.

Expecting a soldier to fight for years, especially under the ROE they must fight, will take it’s toll.

That is so true that it hurts. Let the rest of the world fight it's own battles, just keep away from the USA.
