Regarding Afghanistan and victory:”Do you know what piece of inanimate equipment pisses me off? MRAPs. Mine Resistant Armored Personnel carriers. Thousands of them.
When you turn your jeep into Battlestar Galactica, you have admitted to the enemy that you lack the will to kill the minelayers. Or win the war. Money doesn’t buy victory. It buys lots of equipment, but failing to IDENTIFY and ATTACK and DESTROY the ENEMY to the point he loses the WILL to resist means you are just buying shiny toys from donors. Declining to attack an enemy is not equal to not having one. I almost miss the last administration; even when “conflict = defeat” was the journalism paradigm. At least the war was acknowledged. Our kids lose their sanity on multiple deployments, some finally lose the armour vs. warhead roulette, and the tribesmen still dig holes on the trails and roads at night. Evil. Posted by: TmjUtah
