Veterans

I have a pretty good idea of what you are feeling. Our country has the biggest and best military in the world, and no one is smart enough to use it properly. The sad part is that in these "wars" that we have been walking away from the military wins almost all of the battles and does an excellent job. The troops do what they have been trained for and do it well. The sorry bastards in charge of foreign policy always figure out a way to really fuck it up and grasp defeat from the jaws of victory every time. The poor guy on the ground doing the heavy lifting has nothing to feel bad about. We did our part, and a little more usually. Our leaders" in DC are the ones who should feel ashamed of what happened. They won't. The campaign money is still rolling in from the MIC and most of them will get reelected. That's the way it works.
