Politicians lost their will. I agree. That would be Nixon, since LBJ

Just like the Crusade we are on now,

Neither conflict is currently a crusade. That's from a different
administration. It's unclear what the outcome is going to be in either
place.

I bet your average Iraqi or Afghani can't tell the difference, nor can
the GIs who are getting blown up by road side bombs or in mountain
ambushes.


I don't think most GIs think it's a crusade. Certainly, the Iraqis/Afghanis
do.
