Nothing is going to end this thing until the military's orders are changed. During WWII, if our military saw the enemy, the shot them. Today, from what we hear, our military can't shoot unless they are shot at. This is crazy. They need to be able to put the fear of God, if I'm allowed to say that, into those people. We need another Patton, Bull Halsey, McCarthur, etc over there. I didn't like the speach our President gave last night. He sounded like a whipped pup. He should have come across like Roosevelt, hard and to the point.
Now....Democrats want to pull out, but they haven't stated what they would do if things went to hell in a hand basket after our pull out. We need to know what they would do before we pull out. We also need to rebuild our military numbers.....if that means a draft....so be it. We will be in a war with Iran, count on it.....it's just a matter of time and we can't let our troops go there without big numbers behind them. Unless we hit Iran strictly from the air.
The military unit commanders also need to be given authority to dismiss any "embedded reporter" who is acting as propogandist for the enemy. Right in the middle of the desert if necessary.
