Have faith, p. It's going to be a very, very long war and not a clean, quick one, IMO.
I did 2 tours in Nam ('69-'71) and that politically-directed mess was an absolute horror show, as compared to Iraq and Afghanistan. At least we know what we're doing, here. The Enemy Within is worse, and still with us, and all should be rounded-up and executed for treason and sedition, IMO.
It will end when we win, and not before. Anything less is defeat and the death of Freedom, Liberty and America. And we can't let that happen...

Drip! Drip! Drip!
An SUV pulled up alongside the Guardsman, as he walked in full uniform. They began taunting him with epithets like "baby killer" "nazi" etc. They then left the vehicle and using fists and boots, 5 men between the ages of 22-19 committed felonious assault. This sounds like my high school days (little young for 'Nam), how about you?
