> The USA needs to consider staying out of wars it is not going to fight to WIN quickly, swiftly, and decisively with minimal cost in lives and money.

By default, then, any enemy willing to enter into a protracted war against US interests is going to win automatically. Somehow that doesn’t seem like a good viable plan to me.

> One of the biggest has been to leave this MAGGOT alive.

His usefulness on this orb has about hit its expiry date. It’s about time he went away and never came back.

:::::::
If a war is worth entering, it should be fought...not used as a pit of attrition for US soldiers and taxpayer money. The “protracted” warfare concept should be banned, at least as far as the USA is concerned. Because of it, the Islamofascists, and other oppressive, rogue, and communist nations have little respect for US resolve when it comes to military force and the use of it. Viet Nam was the crowning example of that horror story. I had hoped we would never again see a “pussy foot” politician-run war. I know, I was there. Viet Nam could have been won in a relatively short period of time, and without the loss of 50,000 lives...which only served to suit political objectives, and not the objective of the war.

Let us hope that this kind of scenario does not plague our nation again, and the world comes again to know the US is not playing political games, when it comes to the use of military power.
