In the kind of war we’re asking our guys to fight, its over seconds after it starts, and its the guy that shoots first who wins.
The implied betrayal of our fighting men on a front, of course, is not new. I remember some of the guys who came back from Korea, after MacArthur was denied a chance to actually win, who were embittered--and, incidentally, moved very decidedly to the Right. Hopefully, those who survive this deliberate endangering by their own Government, will follow a similar ideological course.
The whole thing is absolutely indefensible.
