“Another war lost by America. When are we going to make the American military Great Again?”

I take serious offense to that remark. With exception to today’s woke military, our military has always been great.

Korea was a stalemate, thus no clear victory, because Harry Truman stopped MacArthur.

Vietnam was a military success which resulted in the Paris Peace Accords which called for the withdrawal of the US military. The democrat party, led by Ted Kennedy, withdrew support to South Vietnam and forbid reentry of US military. The south fought tot he last bullet and gallon of gas and lost.

In Iraq and Afghanistan our military performed well. The political quagmire back home of having eternal wars to benefit the military industrial prevented a win strategy.

Sir, remarks like yours not only tick me off, but offend any veteran that served with honor. I suggest you pull your head out of that dark smelly spot, see the daylight and breath some fresh air. It might clear your thinking.
