Yes...you are in the armed forces and apparently one of those types that actually thinks that war is confined to the field you were sent to.
Newsflash genius...the military's job is but one part of Modern Warfare! As societies become more advance, the job of a goon with a stick is
diminished. I thought it was good when Colin Powell was thoughtful enough to explain to people at home that War is multifaceted...with diplomatic,
legal, and economic components, to name a few, as well as military operations in the field; apparently the only part of warfare that you are aware
of.
So when I sit here...with full knowledge that this is indeed the case, I speak to the crowd here mostly concerning military events, as the other
aspects of warfare don't often make good news stories and Breaking News forums require a news story.
If I thought for even a moment that you could wrap that gigantic brain around how I perceive war then we could have a real conversation, but you
cannot...so I just have to work within this framework...and you still don't get it.
The reason I know you are a liar and/or completely wrong about your understanding of this war is because I study the evolution of this conflict
primarily by monitoring "Other" aspects of warfare and conflict and reconcile those events with the military events reported in the news. For if
what you say the military is doing is true, this would also be revealed in any of the other aspects of war because it must.
So, if I congratulate the YOUNG men/women is the American military it is for their decision to go to that desert and deserve to be congratulated...not
at all for the reasons you believe. Quiet as I try to keep it...I don't have all that much for armed people...it is base and and far beneath me...but
it is a job that was thrust upon them and they accepted it.
I am glad that the British left too...for when this business is concluded shortly...we don't have to feel any regard for you at all, as we all know
now what your true focus is. All we have to do now is give you back the Israel issue and maybe we can get some sleep.
So proud and you don't even know what you are proud of...so absolutely convinced of your own superior knowledge...we will see.
