Your post #5. Excellent. The only thing I could add is that we toppled the Taliban govt - a country 8000 miles away - in only two months of our being hit.

America has the right military, AND the right leadership.

America has the right military, AND the right leadership

The military has been suffering from shortages and a high tempo. We are astonishing despite the damage done during the Clinton years.

We have the right leadership now, but the military has not been made right yet. It should take years to fix the mess and make it right again.
