Gould,
What is your point?

Do try to follow along, Doc.

JohnH posted the general description of the duties of the Armed Forces
from the Central Command website, and then feigned incomprehension when
I made disparaging remarks about the "mission" in Iraq. According to
JohnH, there is no "mission" except the lofty platitudes enumerated on
the CentCom site, and the word "mission" cannot be used for a specific
deployment or operation. My point is that he is incorrect.
