Fight like WW2, finish like WW2.
The former Axis powers are so toothless now that the European ones are likely to capitulate to the slow-motion mahometan* invasion.
Fight like Vietnam, finish like Vietnam.
IMHO OIF was a combination. The invasion— 14 days to Baghdad— was a stunner. The occupation should have been done like Germany and Japan, but the squishes were too eager to set up a “friendly” indigenous government. SH should have been hanged by American soldiers, as were the top Nazis and similar Japanese.
The lessons of history, etc. etc. etc.
*Yeah, I know what *they* want me to call them. I just don’t care. How’s that for “islamoPHOBIA”.
I agree with your sentiment but would have to take it further. Iraq is nothing like Germany was and hanging a few hundred or a few thousand ‘bad guys’ would have accomplished nothing.
You want to fix Iraq etc.? For an example of the only model that has ever worked on an islamic country see Spanish history. Everything else is just talk.
Cute. I will assume that you were nowhere near our fighting in Vietnam.
No, it's support our armed forces like you did in WW II, we'll win - support the armed forces like you did for the men in Vietnam, you'll lose.
We fought well and courageously. The people at home, not so much.
