Generals also apparently don't work very hard to stop them. As a matter of fact, they work very hard to keep them going.
In the case of the Iraq invasion the military brass opposed it because we had insufficient troop strength for an occupation.

we've been over this before.
The U.S. doesn't "win" wars mainly because it doesn't want to win.
Great...what have you done for me in the last 20 years? Different generation of generals too...don't for get that.In the case of the Iraq invasion the military brass opposed it because we had insufficient troop strength for an occupation.

It's an expression. Meaning, yes that is true, but times have changed, and faces too.What have I done for you?
Rigby5 lot's of politics involved...lot's of people don't think realistically .....wars/getting into wars are not like making a cheese sandwich--they are complicated
..we should not have gotten into Vietnam--but we thought we were helping....it wasn't like hitler or saddam .....
..we DEFINITELY needed to go into Afghanistan .....and looking at history, we needed to go into Iraq--it was the right thing to do
Our enemies are smarter than you; they always have children in their midst so idiots will not kill the murderers.You 'win' by doing what is right, not by killing innocents.

But that is the rub...YOU think it is for your country...but THEY know it is for the pockets of wealthy business interests, and political theater.

Once AGAIN...the generals that STARTED the wars in 2001 are a completely DIFFERENT generation of generals than those whos resisted their end in 2021.They tried to stop Dubya from invading Iraq.

2021-2001=20 Years...That is an entire military career for most.
CoComs-->JCS-->CJCS-->SECDEF-->POTUSGenerals didn't start the war in 2001. Bush was determined to have a gas pipeline from the Stans across Afghanistan to India. He wasn't bothered with OBL.. The Taliban offered to turn him over three times.
We screwed up and you want to demonize the Taliban and blame them .
CoComs-->JCS-->CJCS-->SECDEF-->POTUS
Yes, generals do not start wars, civilians do. However, civilians do not start them without the backing of their generals.
As for Bush and pipelines that is dipping off into areas where we have little concrete.
Bush did nothing that he was not directed to.
Ok, well find me one quote from Bush talking about a desire to build an oil pipeline through Afghanistan and we can talk.Bush was very close to ENRON and they contributed heavily to his Campaigns.. Who are you trying to blame in your defense of Bush?
You actually believe that or were you trying to be cute?
So "close to Enron" that Bush did nothing to even attempt to save the company.Bush was very close to ENRON and they contributed heavily to his Campaigns.. Who are you trying to blame in your defense of Bush?
The MIC & banksters won.....
