the reality is when the USA is involved in a war, run by politicians instead of the generals there is no gain what so ever.

To be in a war and not do what it takes to win only increases loss of American lives and loss of respect around the world.

The need for the current administration to be liked around the world has transformed the US military capability into a joke world wide.

The very amusing part of it all is that while being a tepid military to keep the so called allies happy, they continue to play and drag the US along.

A very tell tale sign of lack of leadership and over riding self concern.

There is much, much, MUCH more we could to to our enemies world wide both technology wise and traditional ground war wise to shore up the future benefits and protection of the USA, it's military and it's populations.........but we do not. We have become nothing more than a paper tiger.
