I agree. Do we know what the actual mission is, more importantly do those serving know? Our leaders have recklessly deployed our military too many times where the mission is much more complex than winning the war. We waste our treasure and military lives defending corrupt governments that are not even pro USA. Get our military out now and start defending the USA borders.
Since World War II the United States has been fighting “wars” that are “police actions” to maintain order.
Phrases like the “New World Order” have been used by leaders like Bush 41 to describe it.
Rumsfeld himself said the “war” after September 11th is not like the ones fought in the past.
The war in Afghanistan is what conservatives I listened to as a child in the 1970’s called a “no-win war.”
Vietnam was such a war with “rules of engangement” to prevent a conventional military victory like World War II.
Afghanistan is a higher-tech, lower casualty version of Vietnam.
