Blending into the mindset of the Human Terrain

[Van]

we've planned and trained for the 'right' war once in our history (Iraq 2003),

"right war"?? Hmm ... short term memory!!
Btw, smart bombs did the trick ... and after "victory" the real #### came along.

"Right" as in "the war we really we going to fight rather than the war would would like to fight"

And smart bombs did not do the trick, no matter how much they helped. The political endstate that military action was supporting was "regime change", and that came about due to the ground operations. Whether or not "regime change" was the ideal solution is for politicians to decide, not soldiers.

Nice approach you all show, if you don't get ... slaughter it ...

"Ignoratio elenchu"; ignoring the main point of our arguments and shifting to different point? Or would this be "ad hominem"; criticizing us rather than either accepting or rebutting our points?

Your hand is shown. Good day, sir.

P.S.

Please don't upset the old men...They tend to get grumpy.

Another crack like that and I'll thrash you with my walking stick
