Rewriting history so soon, John?

Yes, you asked which part of the mission you thought was crap...*AND
THEN PRESENTED THE CENTCOM STATEMENT ABOUT THE GENERAL MISSION OF THE
ARMED FORCES* as my universe of choices.

The thread began with a message from you specifically referencing our
troops in Iraq.
You defined the parameter of the discussion, and unilaterally sought to
expand it beyond the specific when it suited your purpose. Don't be so
transparent- in your next life you might have to return as a storm
window.

The mission I posted was the Centcom mission applicable to "Central Region" of
the Centcom area of operations. It most assuredly was not the 'General Mission
of the Armed Forces', if such a thing exists. You got the mission of the forces
in Iraq. You can wiggle all you want.
