I disagree. Why would one, who was so adamently vocal against Mission Accomplished long before it started, also disagree? Why am I not against war?
Because war is sometimes necessary. The problem is not war. The problem is top management and their brainwashed followers who see war as a solution to anything. Who forget fundamental requirements (defined 2000 years before Columbus) that are necessary for any war.
The problem is not war. The problem is too many low intelligent leaders and their ideologue followers who love big guns and the thrill. Who are therefore the greatest enemy of the American soldier.
Vietnam and Mission Accomplished are examples of so many leaders and citizens with contempt for the American soldier. Back in 1990, I was calling for an inevitable war (Desert Storm) long before many knew where Iraq was. Ironcially, the low intelligent people who said we could do nothing in Kuwait (ie Cheney, Rumsfeld) were (a decade later) calling for useless war against Saddam. Saddam was a threat to no one.
Desert Storm was absolutely necessary. Mission Accomplished had zero purpose. Afghanistan was necessary. And then George Jr surrendered to the Taliban making a second Afghanistan war necessary. So many deaths in that second Afghanistan war created by low intelligent leaders and people just as dumb as to no see the low intelligence.
Soundbytes have no purpose here. War must be justified by underlying reasons why. WWII and Desert Storm was essential. Vietnam and Mission Accomplished are perfect examples of what happens when extremist (low intelligent) leaders use their penis rather than their skull for thinking.
Respect for the American soldier means war justified only by fundamental and previously posted facts. A set of facts that start with the smoking gun. Respect for the American soldier means you (every reader) must understand when war has no purpose and when war is absolutely necessary. Only you, the citizen, decide whether soldiers are killed uselessly (ie Mission Accomplished). Or because it is necessary (WWII, Desert Storm). Only you, the citizen, decided to let George Jr massacre 5000 Americans because he and his administration was that dumb - also called extremist..
The stand should not be against war. The stand should be against low intelligent leaders and "Rush Limbaugh" type disciples who have a long history of contempt for the American soldier.
