Easy to say when your feet are not in the boots….
This current world conflict is far different from what most of our generation lived through. The good old war days (and our easily identified enemies) are long gone. Today's threats require a very different approach, the past 10 years should be proof of that. The last thing we need to do is "man up" with another futile attempt to beat the enemy into submission. Surely we have learned at least that much during the past decade.
We (the western world) are most likely in the early stages of fighting what may be known in history as "The 100 Years War".
