I've said from the beginning the military is being misused. We're trained to go out and take shit, and destroy anything that gets in between us and the shit.
Using our military forces as glorified cops takes away our military advantage and puts our troops on the skyline as targets. To make it worse, any time they do take action the left-wingnuts start crying "foul."
The only way the military should be used in this situation is if they declare martial law and let the military strictly enforce it WITHOUT political consideration trumping strategy and tactics.
And screw that love-in shit. That's THEIR problem. They can square it away or the military does it for them most likely in a manner neither side is going to like.
Yep, a few weeks ago I saw a posting on I think Blackfive that unless the military is going to be used to decisively kill the jihadists in Iraq, making clear they are taking control, there is no sense in trying to 'win the minds and souls.' The order is all wrong and those are political decisions at work.
