This is exactly what happens when your CIC constantly appologizes to the enemy, you get Americans confused and they no longer understand why they are fighting a losing battle. If the CIC has no guts to fight the war than the coward should bring our troops home now....
This is what happens when people deny reality and try to define WAR as something it is not. Changing a definition does not change reality. Innocent people die in war. Pretending otherwise only prolongs it.
Does anyone really think that we would have been attacked, with all we have in our arsenal, if our enemies believed that we defined war as war?
