Diversity Makes Greatness
Hello Dutch Uncle,
I wanted the people behind 911 brought to justice. It was a terrible crime, not a military attack. No nation attacked us. It was terrorism carried out by a rogue group. That group and it's leader were our enemy, not the Taliban.
I disagreed with the Afghanistan War before we ever started it, and always have. Now, it's looking like another Vietnam, another failure, a US hopeless military blunder, (forced by dumb civilian decision making) another example to the world that our forces can't simply go in and dominate a low-tech un-uniformed gang of hidden combatants that mixes with the local civilian public.
Leaders have to give the orders, but is there any doubt that after Dec 7th and 9/11 that Americans wanted their leaders to destroy our enemies?
Wars are actions done as a last resort and always should be the last resort. I've always felt women make the best diplomats but when it comes time for war, they need to pass it over to the military, mainly men. Assign them a mission goal and get out of their way.
