Don, I see that you still can't think for yourself.


Maybe I'd be a good candidate for your army. Would you vouch for me?


No, the US model is to encourage and develop leadership at all levels of
the military. It is one of the principles that makes the US military
second to none in the world.


Really? The U.S. military has not "won" a shooting war against a signifant
enemy since WW II. It fought to a draw in Korea, and got its ass kicked in
Vietnam. It has been victorious fighting third, fourth, and fifth rate
powers like Panama, Iraq, and, of course, Grenada.

The military is civillian controlled.

Nobody won Korea it ain't over yet, there is a cease fire and that cease
fire is going on 50+ years.

Vietnam was run by Johnson during his Tuesday lunches where he and his lunch
guest decided military objectives and truly ****ed things up. The US lost
the will to kill the enemy and we pulled out leaving the South Vietnamese to
fend for themselves.
