Also due to the fact that we’ve largely forgotten since WWII how to actually win a war. That we are still actively fighting in Afghanistan 16 years after 9/11 says much, and it isn’t good.
Yes, Sir. There was a reason why you could never get the guys who crossed the Pacific Islands to talk about their experiences! Actually, if you look at the number of Japanese defenders vs prisoners taken itself tells the story. People have been brainwashed into believing wars can be fought without killing the enemy. Dresden also comes to mind. I have smelled fear and cordite but fortunately you can not smell the blood from 1000 feet. I have utmost respect for the guys who have smelled all three at the same time.
