"the only winning game.., is not to play.."

[Scott G.]

I lived through this during the final years of my military career and while I'm glad to be retired, I would have much preferred to fight wars as we do today.

Since the Iraq war has been won at least twice already, hopefully this victory turns out better than the previous ones.
The military is good at winning wars, the rest of the US government doesn't seem to know anymore what to do after V Day.
Where are the modern Douglas MacArthurs and Gertrude Bells ?
