And your point is?

ANY military which does NOT have contingency plans to deal with ongoing and likely threats is less than effective.

You CANNOT complain about Israel having plans to deal with Hezbollah, a threat over the last 6 years with random attacks on civilians, and then complain that the US did not have plans to deal with the (unexpected to some) sectarien violence in Iraq.


Well, I guess you can, when you are being biased and looking only for a way to blame the victims for defending themselves.
