RE: Micro management cost us Vietnam,

Yep. And this is micromanagement from a community organizer with NO MILITARY EXPERIENCE, who probably doesn’t even know how to shoot a gun.

What could go wrong??

LBJ and MacNamara used this technique in Vietnam with predictable results. What a narcissistic doofus!

I just cannot see O micro-managing. That would mean he has to be close to the Situation Room. That would mean his golfing would be severely curtailed.

I can see him delegating this to someone else. If things go good, O will take the credit. If things go bad, someone else will take the blame. O is not going to put himself in a position where HE is perceived as the responsible party, especially if things go bad.

When will he move on to requiring personal loyalty oaths and stuff like that?

Ha, Hitler wouldn’t listen to his Military leaders when they attacked Russia. So he removed them and took over.

The rest is History...

Johnson did the same thing in Vietnam, wanting to show off his ‘tactical military planning’ skills. It blew up in his face. Now Obozo wants to show the world he’s a ‘great military leader’, not unlike Kim Jong Un.........................

Not long ago I posted a comment about ‘advisers’ sucking us into a major conflict again — shades of Vietnam — when O was thinking about sending military-but-not-boots-on-the-ground back to Iraq.

I got skewered by a few FReepers.

This is looking too much like history repeating itself.

Democrats never learn. They continue to believe that there is such a thing as “limited war” and “proportional responses”.

And also believe that electronic gadgets are better with intel than feet on the street.

Maybe O thinks he has another RESET Button. In case things go bad, he can push it and get a do-over.

Folks, the Republican Party, the conservatives alone, or SOMEBODY has got to produce a 2016 Presidential candidate who is charismatic, tough, has a military & executive background, & HONEST.

I know that’s asking for a lot, but if that is not our next President, the world will suffer greatly.

I do not see that person in the current potential candidates.

I keep being stunned by the complicity of our military leadership. Have they swung as far left as the administration? Seems so.

Then I recall all the officers who have been discharged in the last few years because they fail some trumped up loyalty oath created by this tyrant. Job security, I guess.
