How are you going to keep the politicians out of it, when war is an extension of the Nation's political goals through violent means?

While I agree with keeping certain aspects of politics out of the military, they are intertwined by necessity. Certain things ascribed to political interference in the press are a reality of the current war.

The COIN manual currently in place is a creation of the military staff who wrote it, not the politicians or the state department.

Good lets send the politicans, over along with the military staffers to fight the war by their rules & bring our troops home if that is the case.

BO & his buddies suing the state of Arizona because he doesn't have the balls to protect our borders. Or more like there is no money left because the war is on in the East. A war he was going to end,one of his promises. BO's idea, lets leave it to congress to rewrite the immigrations laws. WHEN?

The staffers who wrote the manual are the staff of CENTCOM. They ARE over there fighting the war.

President Obama and AG Holder (edit) suing the state of Arizona because he doesn't have the balls to protect our borders.

No, they're suing the State of Arizona because their new law is unconstitutional. The 14th amendment to the Constitution o t he United States leaves immigration control and Border enforcement to the Federal Government, not the states.

President Obama's (edit) idea, lets leave it to congress to rewrite the immigrations laws. WHEN?

Ummmm.........that's Congress's JOB. Obviously not too many people are REALLY upset with Congress, we keep sending the same crew back over and over again. 90%+ incumbent re-election rate, guys. You might be upset, but obviously not upset enough to vote 'em out.

I was wondering why we aren't WINNING THE WAR. Now a person knows.

But the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS DOING NOTHING to protect our borders. They are ENFORCING NOTHING.

Vote them out & some other fool steps in to take their place with a bunch of false promises. I am to the point I would VOTE for someone if they promised NOTHING. Lets face it the world has really gotten bigger & our britches are being taken up many notches.

Fighting an insurgency is not a "Hey, we sank your carriers, we win!" World War 2 situation.

It can take years.

Afghanistan is a mess, always has been, but can be stabilized. Prior to the Soviet Union's invasion it was doing fairly well.

Unless people are really willing to tackle the ISI (Pakistani intel group, more rogue than the CIA ever THOUGHT of being) and take on a nuclear armed state, Afghanistan will drag on for years.

I hope eventually we can whip the Terrorists Butts & find some kind of peaceful existence with the Muslim world. But who knows who's terms it will be on?

Hasn't happened in 1300 years, I doubt that's going to change anytime soon.

You never know maybe Allah will end it all for everyone.

LH, just the other day we were speaking here at work about the lack of respect shown to our highest ranking person- the President. I liked your editing to show that respect.

[Lady's Human]

Thanks, Cataholic. Like 'em, dislike 'em, they still sit in the highest office in the land, and deserve, if nothing else, the respect that the office deserves.

As a Sergeant Major told me years ago referring to an officer who I had just had an issue with, "You don't have to respect the person wearing the rank, but you have to respect the rank"

I'm wondering how much calmer our discourse would be if that were done across the board? There would be a bunch of pundits in the unemployment line, though, as that seems to be their whole schtick.

[Bonny]

Cataholic, And The Crowd Cheers On.

So are you calling me a Bigot? What about our brothers, sister, aunts, uncles, moms, & dads that were killed in the World Trade Center, do you think it would be a great honor to have a Mosque built close by in the Terrorists memory? That would be like building a Mosque next to the Wailing Wall in Isreal. Do you think that would be a good idea? Someone has to stand up for our country.

I wasn't even referring to you, but if the shoe fits....

Yet another thing that was drummed into our heads as kids! Our parents were quite firm about many things, and respect was one of them, along with the freedom of speech and responsibility that comes with it, and of course, love for animals!

[Bonny]

Caseysmom, Just who were you referring to I'd like to know. If you are pointing fingers you might as well fess up to who is a Bigot on here? I noticed some people on here can do & say whatever they want but if any of us speak up we get axed for being disrespectful & there is a metling pot on here so I guess there is a double standard too or am I blind?

[caseysmom]

I don't care to mention names but most folks know who refers to Mexicans, coma patients and the overweight in very condescending terms. I have no doubt I have missed a few groups that have been spoken ill of by this person.
