I call to task anyone who thinks that someone else should fight for what they themselves are unwilling to don uniform and gun and do themselvesGiven that outlook, then Bush should never be questioned as to what he commands the military to do. (Do you subscribe to the Friedmanist notion of an "all-voluntary military"? If there were a draft, I'd go when called, though; I doubt my current physical shape would result in acceptance, and my age is at the cutoff point, if not over it already.) As for the military, they're quite willing to do what has to be done; but the mess in Iraq (and Afghanistan) has to do with restraint put on our military; and the more we "negotiate" with Iran, the stronger they get. Going after the wrong targets and negotiating with the right target is the greatest disservice to our troops. Underfunding them is yet worse; who cuts taxes during a time of war? (That Rumsfeld speech about "go[ing] to war with the army you have", et cetera, is a disgrace.) |
