All of this started to get screwed up with the Korean Conflict and came to a head in Vietnam. The problem: Politicians started running the war rather than the generals. Politicians want a sanitized war where the MSM can take pictures, but no one ever gets shot. They don’t want the realities that war brings to our troops. Instead, they want to put our troops in harms way with rules of engagement that only a politician could dream up. Indeed, let’s give Nancy and Barbara and Harry a rifle and send them to one of the current hot spots for, say, six months. With a little luck, they may come back with a different point of view. With a lot of luck, maybe they won’t...never mind...not a nice thought.

It is a very nice thought, which if becomes reality, would bring joy through out the land.

Praise be to allah.

Could this have had seeds in the US Civil War?
Pictures in papers and reporters harsh stories initially caused ‘limited’ northern engagements.
Politics especially hampered Jeff Davis in selection of Generals and his ‘direction’ of the war.

Victory is the only thing that will stop the killing and war. Sad really—its like dropping the a-bomb on Japan—in the end it saved both Allied and Japanese lives. Imagin if WW II had ceast fires to let the Nazis have humanitarian relief (so they could build an a-bomb) -—No, what we see is TV wars, propaganda, and the UN—dump the Corrupt UN! send it back to Europe! I say Nuke Gaza—kill em all—re-populate with Christians and Jews—No Islamic people permitted. Turn the mosques into museums and churches.
