In post #13 I mentioned something said by a General in the U.S. Marine Corps. You should pay attention to what a superior officer had to say. It was a lesson not learned. The Korean War was a stalemate. We got our asses kicked in Vietnam. It was sheer stupidity that caused us to support the Afghans in their war against Russia. 9-11 PROVED that.
As for our war in Afghanistan, that shouldn't have happened either. We should have just bombed the hell out of the country and called it even. Instead, we ended up just arming the hell out of the Taliban with American weapons. Neither was there any reason for either war against Iraq. The second one was over a poison gas and nuclear issue that didn't exist. Gaining oil was the real reason for that war. Which didn't turn out very well. All the trillions of dollars spent and American lives wasted did was basically hand the country over to Iran and form ISIS. Those things should piss you off.
Officers put their pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us.
Your opinions are noted. Perhaps you should try insulting those you feel are guilty of said alleged crimes instead of those who died in the line of duty trying to defend themselves and those around them.
If there are guilty parties you sure are doing them a service running deflection for them.
