“.... once wars are started, even when militarily successful, they may be extremely difficult to end....”

We should heed this lesson

I increasingly believe we should capitulate in the mideast and come home.

To be followed by capitulation in Dearborn? Because it is a world War after all.

The irony is that they are studying the America of the 1940s. Our Government, electorate, and culture are very different today. We would not have fought WWII the same way. Interpret that as you will.

Wow, just wow. So that's what we have left when all the brave guys get killed off in several wars and the 4F's breed.

So you really, honestly think that we should wait until they're strong enough to come here?

No need to capitulate. Just find a way to fight that is cheaper than the way the enemy fights and then hold out till he is bankrupt.

Not at all. All wars end. Most end pretty quickly, actually. It wasn't until we started heeding Liberal "military wisdom", like never using disproportionate force (we don't want to look like bullies!), using nearly impossible Rules of Engagement, actively attempting ZERO civilian casualties, tolerating the US ene-media to free lobby against wars while they are happening, etc etc etc. Wars end fastest when one side quits. Getting an enemy of ours to quit quickly is very easy to do... as long as we simply ignore Liberals.

That would only work if all their people would go home, too.

I agree with pulling out of the ME. None of our ‘achievements’ there justify our continued involvement.

But the long term solution is to ditch the Geneva Conventions and go back to total war on our enemies.

Maybe, but it isn’t going away.

We can fight it over there, or over here..................
