They keep hearing the call of a nation at war, a proven method turns them into weapons, and our enemies — wherever — should heed McCafferty’s warnings. We will have the most powerful military in the world, for at least fifteen years, because of our human capital. Just look in those eyes, , and the eyes of their Drill Instructors — full of equal amounts of purpose and determination — and be glad they are on our side.

I am so damned proud of those valiant men and women! I pray every morning that the war in Iraq will end well. Prayers finally being answered.

Now, it’s on to Afghanistan, where the slogging is going to be tough because it is so much more primitive and isolated than Iraq. And of course there’s Waziristan (untouchable) next door. It’s doable because our troops are the best. If we the people and the administration stand behind them nothing they can’t do.

The Truest Words.

And now, I can die happy because I know the American Fighting Man has no equal, ….. and as long as America produces these Young Men of Valor and Courage, she NEVER will.

For those who never lost faith in these Young Men and Women, Thank you.

I was over in both theatres this past summer, and there was a clear difference in trending, palpable in the air. Iraq up, Afghanistan descending. Fight’s not over by a far stretch.

Yep. And no small surprise of what would happen if that glue chemistry was re-engineered prematurely (remove US military and/or Embassy Team).

“The Iranians are following a course of action that is illogical for their own security interests. They have significant covert resources in Iraq and maintain a hostile interventionist political stance. They are developing nuclear weapons and will achieve their purpose within five years. They have developed a serious naval-missile-air power capability to close the Persian Gulf and interdict the flow of oil. This Iranian action would prompt almost certain international crisis and a probable massive US air and naval attack on their armed forces and means of production. (My own view of the probable outcome).”

This is the General’s view of the “probable” outcome. It ain’t fear-mongering, though that’s how MSM would likely paint it. We have a long row to hoe, and a new administrationbehind the plow.
