Patton was reincarnated many times.
I ain't really sure but the latest one might be the 45th Pres.
If so, it'll be a while for a new version.

Well we haven't won a war since WWII. Better make sure we don't break with tradition of losing. I reckon you haven't noticed that our military "failures" are ALL a result of political failures, NOT those of us who were there.

That is true of all wars. Hitler's decision to fight on two fronts simultaneously led to his defeat-a political decision.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I reckon you haven't noticed that our military "failures" are ALL a result of political failures, NOT those of us who were there. Results are the same. Tie our boys hands and don't let them fight to win. Use them up and throw them away. One example. Our guys are taking have fire from a hospital. They have to clear it room by room not knowing who is the threat and many get killed or injured doing this. But there is a bomber 20k feet up and drops on sight. Level that building with bombs and move on eliminating risk to our troops would be my course of action.

Bombing a hospital with civilians inside is a war crime. Same as burning jews

Still a war crime-win or lose. Harder to prosecute is all,may take a little more time but what goes around comes around.

History is wrote by the winners. I don't care about the civilians in a crap hole country that does not want us there to begin with. The politicians can suck eggs. The least amount of risk for our troops is the way to go. Once word gets out the civilians may be less likely to tolerate the fighters putting firing locations in hospitals and schools. After all insurgency rely on help from civilians.

I can only imagine how disastrous it will be if we got involved in another war with our present woke military leadership. Imagine a generation that has produced the largest, all volunteer military in the world. I think the USA would be just fine if allowed to fight.
