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.


When the units deployed they had a mission, which was different than their
current mission. If you were referring to their mission of two years ago, you
should have so stated.

I "feigned incomprehension"? Because I responded to what you said instead of
what you *meant* to say?

You're a writer, Chuck. You don't need to depend on smart-assed comments to make
your point.
