I understand the gesture (the added security), but if the brass don’t want to win this war this is just a costly show of force for the taxpayers.
Because the brass doesn’t want to win the “war on terror” any more than they want to win the “war on drugs”, I see it devolving into much the same thing: A costly workfare program creating tons of government jobs with no discernible effect. American taxpayers (and citizens in general) are being played for fools, providing this new swarthy underclass with the rope by which they’ll hang us.
