He is telling the public one thing, and the generals (sm) - nm

and military advisors are telling him it can't be done. ISIS cannot be defeated the way he is telling us it will be. He's an idiot.

"good war" the very definition of an oxymoron - hawkmt

Can you tell me any war - we have "won" lately?

[ In Reply To ..]
Maybe we really, really helped win WWII all those years ago, but that was about the last war that truly needed fighting IMO, and the last war where our soldiers actually had a stake and knew what they were fighting for!

No, the Army doesn't share that info - soldiers might not fight

As an Army veteran I will tell you that soldiers - will follow direct orders no matter what the polit

There may be some who will desert and not follow direct orders, but we are trained (brainwashed) to do as we are told, that is what basic training is all about. It takes a long time to get some of that training out of your head. I have been out for 30 years and I still pack in an army way and I still make the bed in a military fashion, and when talking to strangers I almost always say yes sir, no sir. It's a mistake to think soldiers will not fight for political reasons.

The point is you don't send them in with their hands tied - behind their backs.

No, war is not always necessary and I am glad - He sees that

America hasn't won a war in decades. Why should - we believe we would win this one?

What is a "good" war? - What war is EVER "good"?

World War II? - Guessing

You think that was a "good" war? - Apalling.

Perhaps "necessary" would be - a better word

[ In Reply To ..]
That was a necessary war. Had we not got into it, Hitler would have proceeded and taken over more countries, England, and Japan would also have escalated their imperialism.

I imagine those who fought in that war at least knew they were fighting for something important, truly fighting for freedom - to free the countries in Europe who had been occupied by the Germans and to prevent them taking more. Also to free those in the concentration camps. Also the threat of the Japanese taking the Pacific Islands and beyond.

I imagine knowing how important it was, it still would be hard to deal with the reality of war for most. Which is why it would be incredibly hard to fight in a war which you really have no clue what you are fighting for, have no idea WHO you are fighting for, have no respect for or knowledge of anyone involved in the country where you are, are completely in the dark, just a fighting machine.

This seems to be the scenario for our recent wars and it seems so cruel to send over our soldiers to fight these kinds of wars which just do NOT seem to be for American causes and also nobody seems to want us there.

When you get something good, everybody wants a piece of it. My hubbie got a very good job. He drives an eighteen wheeler and has had some crappy jobs. He waited to get on with this company for months. He is making great money. Enough so that I could quit transcription and go back to college.

No matter how much you hate him this is a good article. Cut him down all you want but it won't change the truth. Here's a quote from the article: Mr. Bush said that "the role of government is not to create wealth, but to create the conditions that allow entrepreneurs and innovators to thrive." I wish it was someone else who has said this because a lot of people sole purpose is hating and cutting him down, which diminishes from the importance of the article. http://www ...

Although it was pointed out a very long time ago that Sarah Palins website http://www.takebackthe20.com/ (the cross-hairs) map, was totally irresponsible for a celebrity of her level, I am sickened that she did not take it down until after these shootings occurred. I think her career is over. It doesn't matter why the Gifford shooter did what he did, all these celebrity types should be much more careful in what they say and do. Palin is certainly not ...
