Because anyone with a shred of military education knows this war cannot possibly be won with the strategy this administration is pursuing?

And anyone with a background in History and/or Military education knows that you can not win a war without engaging the enemy.

Nice fake screenname, FR Class Of (corrected) 2008.

Here's a clue, fellas:

You can lie when you tell the FEC who your employer is. They don't verify. You can donate money under the name Mickey Mouse and say you work for Crunchy Frog Industries.

Paulestinians and Obamaniacs encourage people to claim that they are soldiers, sailors, marines, aviators, etc. It's good propaganda, that's all.

There is an entire subculture of leftists in this country who make their living by falsely claiming to war veterans.

I think you’re full of...stuff, and I’m not talking wisdom.

Of course, I’ve only got 24 years in the Air Force, so what would I know, Class of 2008?

BTW - it seems to have missed my contributions to Thompson.

“Because anyone with a shred of military education knows this war cannot possibly be won with the strategy this administration is pursuing?”

Sheesh, you are all killing me.... As a vet, twice deployed to Iraq, going back again soon, I will say I know exactly one person for Ron Paul out of maybe 40 folks in our squadron that talk about politics.

Second, our current counter-insurgency efforts are going quite nicely, thank you. Yes, every loss is tragic, and I’ve been to too many memorials and funerals. But guess what folks, people die in war. As they do in training, as one of my brother officers near my base unfortunately found out yesterday at Eglin. Please study some military history before armchair qb’ing “counter insurgency strategy”. I’d recommend studying the British counter insurgency ops in Malaysia (which quite a bit of our current strategy is based on) and Russia operations in Afghanistan. Its long, bloody, hardest on civilians and takes about 8 years to win, and about 15 years to lose (reference Vietnam). Oh yeah, you have to control the borders (Iran/Syria) and get the population on your side, of which we are finally managing to accomplish both.
