>>There may be political logic to it but in military affairs, its idiocy. Any general can tell you can’t stop short of victory. Our politicians seem incapable of grasping what needs to be done.<<
Sad but true...
This is why there needs to be term limits. Each member of congress has only one goal. That is to ensure that he/she is reelected time after time after time. That cannot be reconciled with a President who gets only two terms. A Presidents goal is the protection of the country.
With term limits in place, congress will be forced to do what is right and not what is politically expedient.
This has to be the number one issue for this country. Congress has proved to be irresponsible and not looking after the country’s survival.
