I'm so angry with those in power. We elected those who said they would end the war - yeah, right
I agree completely with you Grace - both on disappointment with those elected to end the war and why we are so complacent. I think bring back the draft - for young men and young women and you would see a different attitude.

One doesn't have to be a "military expert" to see a difference in wars. What would a "win" look like in Iraq or Afghanistan? The same with Vietnam. In WWII - victory - the objective was clearly defined - end the Nazi regime and defeat Japan. We knew where we were going and so could know how to get there.

When the "victory" is ill-defined or undefined - how do you get there?

War, business, education - you name it. You have to know the destination.

We don't.
