The problem we have is with this entire rebuilding of nations. This I consider G.W. Bush's fatal legacy. Our military was capable of winning wars in days or weeks, now I am not certain. The one thing I am certain is that we have too many good men rotating in and out of combat on a regular basis. They do not get to return home as victors and get to stay home to train the next in line.
We spend millions on smart weapons when carpet bombing with inexpensive "dumb" bombs would actually do a more effective job. My point here is simple, we need to change the minds and spirits of our enemies. Scaring the hell out of them and sending them back to the 8th century is more effective and cheaper than rebuilding/upgrading their already backward societies. We need to demoralize our enemies to the point that they ask for unconditional surrender.
That saves lives on both sides, but more importantly it saves American lives and American treasure.
we’re not going to be “smart” about anything....we will waste good personal, good weapons, and ammo and supplies and it’ll all be because we don’t want to really “win” anything and afterall, all that military defense money makes billions for the crony capitalists..
How about cutting welfare, you know stop supporting the worthless pieces of human excriment that are too damn lazy to work!!!!!!!!!!!
