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.




Richard Nixon racked things up tremendously in Vietnam, including
unrestricted bombing and unparalleled offensive actions. We still lost.

Nixon had to clean up Johnson's mess. Why didn't Johnson run for a second
term? Because, he screwed up Vietnam so badly that he even saw through his
arrogance and knew he was un-reelectable.
