There aren’t enough of “us” to beat “them”; we’ve even imported “them” into our own country.

Our history is filled with examples of American firepower, grit, ingenuity, and determination overcoming the superior numbers of any enemy God has seen fit to throw at us. The American soldier can handle whatever challenge comes his way. Period.

There's only one entity that can hamper the effectiveness of the American fighting man, and that's the American politician.

We can always bomb or lob missiles, but as far as winning a ground war with boots on the ground, that simply isn’t an option anymore

As long as enough bombs and missiles are applied, I'm OK with that. Unfortunately we've also become squeamish about charges "excessive force". "Whatever it takes" is not excessive.

Several precision guided weapons should be dedicated to that well in Jam-i-Karān, near Oom.

The American soldier is the greatest on planet Earth.

But there are not enough of them.. even if we mobilized every reservist and guardsman, including the inactive reservists.

“As long as enough bombs and missiles are applied, I’m OK with that.”

We could never manufacture enough; Osama bin Laden had fifty siblings, and as far as we know we’ve only killed one of the 50.
