These people aren\u2019t wrong, in the sense that we don\u2019t want to spend 20 years in some Islamic country trying to do nation building. I\u2019m one of those people. We saw the morons and idiots, aka Neocons, of the Bush Administration, (Either and both of them), who wouldn\u2019t do what needed to be done to just finish the job.<\/p>\n
Up until Korea, the United States had a very simple base line strategy. Smash the enemy flat and then kick them when they were down to make sure they never again become a threat to the United States. This is generally referred to as the \u201cJacksonian\u201d way to fight a war. Basically, you throw everything at the enemy, including the kitchen sink.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Korea was the first time we didn\u2019t follow this strategy. As much of an Ass MacArthur was, he was correct with regards to how to fight the war in Korea. The Truman administration, especially Harry Truman, didn\u2019t like MacArthur, considering him to be an insubordinate loose cannon interested in himself. He was of course.<\/p>\n
We finally managed to not lose South Korea at the cost 34,000 dead Americans. Then we had Vietnam, a war that, bluntly, should never have been fought. That fiasco lasted roughly 10-15 years for America and costs us 50K+ American lives. Next was the Global War on Terror with the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.<\/p>\n
The initial invasion into Afghanistan was working until the Bush Administration started tying the military\u2019s hands. We then spent the next 20 years trying to nation build and not doing what needed to be done to shut down the Taliban once and for all. Iraq was another war we now know really wasn\u2019t needed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This brings us to the Iran and Operation Epic Fury. This is a combined assault on Iran\u2019s leadership and military\/terrorist leadership. The usual suspects are ranting and raving about the War Powers act and this being an illegal war. What they are either don\u2019t realize or are ignoring is that we have been at war with Iran since 1980. No, Congress didn\u2019t declare war on Iran. Iran has declared war on the United States, repeatedly. With the most recent declaration being last year after Israel and the United States took out Iran\u2019s nuclear weapons program.<\/p>\n
Iran has also been carrying out acts of war against the United States since 1979 and the takeover of the American embassy. Iran has killed thousands of Americans, primarily Military personnel over the decades. On a few occasions, the United States \u201cProportionally\u201d retaliated. One of these events was Operation Praying Mantis. At the time, we, proprotionally, sank half the Iranian navy.<\/p>\n
