>>But, AR, my friend, this discussion is a mute point...<<

I hope that was a pun.

>>Bottom line, the US militray is so advanced in making war that it can just kill the heck outtas anyone it wants... Look at Afganistan and Iraq... Yeah, they killed off lotta folks... Dindn't mteer if these folks eneded killin'... That aain't got one thing to do with anything... Just kill 'um... And it seems that it don't matter which lkids they plug into this war machine... Yer gonna get lotta other folks dead...<<

We're so advanced in making war we got our asses kicked out of Vietnam just like we're about to get our asses kicked out the Middle East. for some who claims to be critical of Bush, you seem to think a lot like him. We're Americans, we can't lose. We DO lose and we ARE losing right now.

>>Like I pointed out, it ain't a jatter of who smart the grunts are that carry out the "warrior" part of the deal but how smart the ***leaders*** are!!!<<

I'll grant you it didn't take a lot of brains to get us in the quagmire we are in now, but nevertheless, You litter a road with IEDs and then have a team of smart people run that gauntlet and a team of dumb people do the same, who do you think will come out better? So while I would question the widsom of the idiot who put me in that situation, it's up to me to come out of it alive and I don't want to depend on an idiot in that situation.

>>Here is where I am very concerned!!! Seesm the leaders ain't no bright bulbs either...<<

Doesn't matter about them. They're not the ones who have to live by their wits and their training to come home alive.

>> I mean, lets look at Donnie Dumsfeld fir starters...<<

You can point at any leader and say that. That has nothing to do with getting killed because you can't follow instructions or becasue they guy next to was daydreaming instead paying attention.
