Five years after Japan and Germany surrendered were we still calling our troops being over there a “war”?
As far as casualties, those losers are strictly amateur hour when it comes to killing people. A young man of military age is safer stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan than living in one of our major urban areas. We kill more people per capita during peace than many nations do during upheaval or rebellion.
There never really was a war. Iraq’s army was absolutely no match for ours or threat, and Afghanistan didn’t have an army so much as pockets of militias. We have a military built to devastate with the best trained men and the most advanced technology the World has ever seen, yet we play global peacekeeper. It’s like putting Mike Tyson in the ring with a guy from the local YMCA, and telling Tyson to play rope-a-dope for 15 rounds instead of just knocking the guy out.
Or Juarez Mexico. Just across the border from Ft Bliss.
