TweetI've posted about this before.
Wars, if you don't move you lose.
WWI and WWII, or even going back centuries, armies would move forward, destory, take over and move on. During Japan, it was impossible to attack there shorres and move, thus, we bombed crap out of them.
Vietnam, russia in afganistan, irag, us in afgan, we just are plain assed sitting ducks, folks know where we are.
We defeated Britian because the French funded us and helped with there navy. All countries have folks who will help them. In vietnam, russia and china fed guns and money to vietnam to bog us down. When russia went into afgan we sent guns and money and after a decade in bankrupted the country.
When we went into afgan, no one would support taliban or al quida except for some pakistan militants, yet, when we invaded iraq, tons of muslims, iran included had guns and money for the insurgency.
Today, modern communications and worldwide travel hamper military. In old days military could out run communications and others travel.
Thus, my stance on pretty much all war is dumb.
