Our 'Leaders' Waste Our Troops On Wars Without End or Purpose

Here we are again . . . in Afghanistan . . . holding cheap the lives of American servicemen by sending them in force into harm's way with no clearly defined realistic objective and no commitment to achieving absolute victory as expeditiously as possible by any and all necessary means.

There isn't a spot in hell hot enough for 'leaders' who thus fecklessly squander the lives of our troops.

War requires a clear statement of purpose, of what will constitute victory, and a national commitment to achieve it with whatever it takes in the most effective and efficient possible way.

It is no wonder that not having done this since the end of World War II, we haven't been victorious in any of the wars to which we have committed -- and in which we have sacrificed -- troops since them.
