When their CINC is a coward and cannot define victory this is what you will get. This is Obama’s and the liberals mistake and who will be the last man willing to die for a mistake?

I called the minority leader yesterday and told his staffer to get the troops.

>>> Vietnam syndrome is setting in ... <<<

Vietnam propaganda syndrome is setting in, you mean.

However, let’s not forget the caveat in paragraph 5:

“The base is NOT, it has to be said, obviously downcast, and MANY troops do NOT share the chaplains’ assessment. The soldiers are, by nature and training, upbeat, driven by a strong sense of duty, and they do their jobs as best they can.” (my emphasis)

Could the Obama Administration be doing a better job — better yet, START doing the job of commanding our military in Afghanistan? Sure!

Will the Obama Administration and its journalist “fellow travellers” do their best to make sure that our military and other ISAF soldiers don’t have to continue the fight in Afghanistan? By trying to sway public opinion by portraying our efforts there in the worst possible light? You betcha!
