US TRADITION OF PERPETUAL MILITARY ENGAGEMENTS AROUND THE WORLD MUST END--AFTER CENTURIES OF WARFARE, WE ARE NO SAFER--IT BROUGHT US NO PEACE--KILL 3O OF THEM TODAY AND TOMORROW 40 WILL TAKE THEIR PLACE--AND WORSE OF ALL, 100 OF THE NEW-BORNS WILL AVENGE THE DEATH OF THOSE WE KILLED.

Will we ever learn?--World War 1, World War ll, the Korean War, Vietnam, Iraq, Panama, Grenada, Somalia, Lebanon and the list goes on. The Russians learn their lesson in Afghanistan, the French in Vietnam, the British learn theirs as well. Then came the Americans--we are going to show those SOBs a thing or two; we were going to "Kick their Butts"----so, we went in; they are now up against a major Military force, that's what we were told.
I think it's time that our President tell the Military Brass to shove it--tell them to "Stand-down", to go sit behind their desks, eat their dough-nuts and drink their coffee, because the tradition of Military control over the Presidency is over. The United States cannot save the world--But, make no mistake about it, we will defend ourselves with everything in the arsenals to repel and defeat any foreign invasion of the homeland. And if that ever happens--one thing for sure--I will be their with my rifle and fixed bayonet.
