Boot all the liars out of the military and get on with fighting the war to win.

A hundred lawyers were swimming a the beach with hundreds of man eating sharks swimming around them.

A news team on the beach asked the lawyer appointed to speak to the press was asked why the sharks were not eating the lawyers.

The lawyer responded, "Professional courtesy."

I don't think we can imagine the effect this will have.

For starters there is an entire generation of young officers being brought up to regard tactical intervention by attorneys as normal. They will also decline to make the hard decisions, the ones that win battles if it means they could possibly, remotely be brought up on charges.

This is what Congress and a PC Pentagon hath wrought. Forty years after Vietnam we have another military with its hands tied. How I despise those who deny our military the possibility of victory.

I will never understand how we won WWII and can't seem to win anything since.

We had less communications back then, and we relied more on common sense. Now we've got "paralysis by analysis". Specifically, you can't get to "Death from above or below" without first going through "Death by PowerPoint".

Kick out the press and lawyers and let the dogs of war do their job!

Don't worry about this stuff, guys. George W. Bush is a very strong leader and an extremely effective Commander in Chief. He won't let this go on for very much longer.
