I suppose we could just call all of the sacrifice up to now a complete waste, and just hand Iraq back over to Saddam and his terror weenies.
I can think of no greater disrespect for those who have given so much.
But then, maybe the United States should be run out of Brussels too. We all know that the Europeans, with all of their sophistication and intellect are good at avoiding the loss of skyscrapers. /Sarcasm off.
Yes, actually it is. As we said back when I was in the Army ...
Adapt and Overcome, Soldier!
Our troops are innovating on the fly and civilians want to jump to rediculous conclusions because we get to see it all on the news?
"From a Nation that could fight two major fronts to one that has to use toys to fight Arabs... Arguably the most backwards savages on the planet."
That's a very "glass is half empty" kind of statement. We're so advanced that we can even combat them with our TOYS!
Alot of people need to go back and read their history. Our public schools are failing us if we have the idea that this kind of innovation and improvised adaptation is new. Invention on the fly has taken place in just about every war in history.
Doesn't anyone remember our boys cutting up the anti-tank obstacles from the Normandy beaches and welding them onto the front of their tanks as hedgecutters?!? Let's be just a little bit pragmatic here instead of emotionally over reacting to every one of these stories in the media please.
I just wonder why the bad guys haven't figured out how to do the same. If it's cheap and effective, they could easily build their own UAVs.
