And you're in military intelligence? Jesus Christ. It's like a game of whack-a-mole, only every time the mallet comes down, a couple more kids aren't coming home.
I was in military intelligence twixt 84 and 87.
Let me tell you a secret, if there was a desire to actually win this bullshit war, it would have happened yesterday. All that has to be done is to seal the borders and work from the outside in. Give everyone within the perimeter a week to turn in weapons and kill everyone who refuses. There you go, war over.
Do you know the real reason the war exists and why it is drawn out forever? It is so the fear card can be played in the next election, a strategy that the neocons feel they can't relinquish, and are too stupid and/or ignorantly stubborn to renounce. They don't give a damn about victory in war, only victory in elections.
The great sacrifice of the soldiers is just a means to an end, according to our high holy politicians they are just objects. It is just as Marx preached and the neocons, being of an equivalent moral capacity, and through admiring their opponents above their allies, their sole filter by which they see the universe.
Win or leave are not options when one considers each body bag another thousand votes, however much currently politically mistaken in that assessment such moral garbage may be that currently leads the US.
The primary reason that this simple fact has not been presented is the cowardice and abject prostitution of the common media in this nation.
Since the US under current leadership refuses to win, they should leave.
