Once we get the Bozo out of office we need to institute a new military strategy. No more nation building. The next time we go to war we need to do just two things:
1) Kick ass
2) Haul ass
Get in and get out. Punish and evacuate. Leave these people with their own rubble to clean up.
I always had trepidation with Afghanistan, and I understand your trepidation with Iraq, but Iraq could have been a success.
It still may be.
It will be difficult for the Kurds to stay free once Mookie Al Sadr returns.
Turkey is also going rogue.
The next time we go to war we should have to declare WAR or declare retaliation.
If retaliation, definitely your 2 step plan.
If war, then the only way to go to 3 step plan (kick, demilitarize, haul) is to Require UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER OF A PRE-IDENTIFIED enemy (as in WWII) and all deployed to war will stay for the duration of war. No more “rotation wars”.
Preach it, brother. Total war is the answer. Administer justice and then go on about your business.
Deserves a huge BUMP!!!!
