I remember when McPain wanted to invade Afghanistan with 250,000 troops: ‘Bootch on the ground’.
Yep. What Bush and Rumsfeld did in Afghanistan and Iraq was brilliant. And even though they were slow to adapt (by modern TV show standards) to the changing situation in Iraq, adapt they did, with amazing results.
I have no respect for those who are quick to criticize the military in Iraq. They have consistently done an unbelievable job there, and the way they have changed ROE and tactics to meet the challenges is something that will be studied in military history for generations.
