This has to be the most direct statement that sums up our county’s past and present leadership in the manner in which they have handled past and present wars coming from the very well respected retired Navy Admiral James Lions. Smart people pay attention; the key word being smart.
These are cold hard facts coming from someone that was there; first hand information.
Being politically correct is not the way wars are won. Wars are won by seasoned military people that have the experience and backbone to make the difficult, correct and strategic decisions when necessary. Anyone that does not have the stomach for it should stay out of it.
Something that the American people have forgotten through the years is that good guys finish last. War is not a game of hide and go seek or tag, it is serious business and should be conducted as such by qualified people not some knuckle headed, egotistical suits.
When is the last time the USA has won any war. Making strategic withdrawals is not winning a war, it is a fancy term for running away.
Who does a person go to when they have transmission problems; a florist? Let the experts do what they have trained to do all of their lives.

If what Admiral Lions is alluding to is not a prime example of what the end result is when incompetent politicians run any war rather than the military, I don’t know what is.
You can judge for yourself.
