I agree it was a mistake to go in. My point was that if you are going in then you give the military the equipment they ask for. No way in he$$ do I excuse Clinton or McCainiac for anything.

Another similar dark chapter that you might want to study is the ill fated Iranian hostage rescue mission. (http://iran.theatlantic.com/interactive_article_page_1.html)where Carter cut back the amount of equipment the military asked for resulting in a terrible disaster.

Lesson - give the guys what they ask for.

Lesson - give the guys what they ask for. It's a lesson that bears repeating.
