Politics be damned. Give them something reliable. Wars are fought with rifles, not politcal correctness. Sorry, the world doesn't work that way.
"War is the continuation of politics by other means."
--Karl von Clausewitz
I am afraid you missed the point, andy. Wars may be prosecuted as extensions of a country's political goals and ambitions, but it is fought with rifles and spirit.
If you read "On Strategy" by the late Col Harry Summers, you will see the difference.
