Our whole fight was in vain.
A couple of elections later and everything our soldiers fought for is gone.
Perhaps Western leaders and policy makers will come to understand that the values and institutions of the West that emanated from the enlightenment are simply not compatible with Islamic culture. There is inherent sustained conflict and violence throughout the Muslim world when Western oriented secularists attempt to govern. It is worse when Americans or other Westerners attempt to “aid” or engage in nation building. They are simply not “just like us”.
I knew this would happen. They’ve taken one look at Iraq and said ‘time to move’
! wonder what’s now stopping the Chi-Coms from moving on Taiwan? And for North Koreanns to hit South Korea. It’s obvious that the Obama Regime will not defend American allies or interests. Maybe Russia should try for Eastern Europe again too?
Soviets live next door. Tried to “subdue” Afghanistan for what 15 years and finally left with their tail between their legs?
So we move in to take advantage of the void and 15 years later we leave with our tails between our legs?
For what have we left our sons souls?
Iraq the same. These crazies have fought for eons and will continue to do so.
Another “successful ending” to a war that dear leader can brag about.
What an incredible waste of resources and precious soldiers.
The only way to go to war is to do it the way we did it against Germany and Japan. Unconditional surrender, have our military run the country for a generation while re-educating the whole civilian population to our values. That’s the way you “win” hearts and minds, not through a politically correct, multicultural, compassionate, wussified operation.
I’ve said it constantly throughout these wars...use bigger bombs and a lot more of them....there wouldn’t even be an “ISIS” if we had taken them out while they were new and moving toward their goals.....nope, we just sit by and watch the world deteriorate......pathetic.
