Default Good Points & Questions...HARDCORE.

Regardless, I'm sorry that I don't have any answers.
Sorrier still, is that apparently non in authority and/or calling-the-shots here in America have the answers either.

And besides, when fighting a vicious, fanatical and pathologically-merciless enemy, how could a nation where political-correctness and fairness are paramount above all else,...ever TRULY resolve anything? Being more so concerned about hurting the enemy's feelings (the enemy's friends feelings inclusive also) and causing any possible enemy: "Collateral Damage", rather than loss of American Lives (past, present and future),...isn't very reassuring either.

Then too, there's that good old standard of politically micro-managing even lethal warfare, after politics itself has already proven to be a total failure and very reason for going to war in the first. Will politicians and/or Civilian Warlords never realize such? TOTAL FAILURES at negotiating and diplomacy now want to try their hand AT WARFARE? Get real,...all you civilian lawyers and/or REMF's feebly attempting to micro-manage warfare in every detail.

Hey Old Friend, who-the-hell knows? Maybe by some miracle, it will be realized that only generals know how to win wars and achieve TOTAL VICTORIES & TOTALLY RESOLVE ANY CONFLICTS.
Politicians, much like with domestic matters only start problems, by pitting one segment against the other to achieve power and control, while never TRULY resolving anything and making problems fester indefinitely (the norm).

Also, only fools, zealots or politicos would dare handcuff their very own military and place them at a deadly disadvantage with Politically-correct Rules of Engagement,...when our enemies NEVER ASININELY DO SO. Are WE just plain nuts?
Sure, such makes for good: "JAG" Shows. But, so what?
