I have to admit, I’m a bit shocked:
That does it. I officially no longer support this war. Furthermore, may I encourage my sons to not reenlist? These people are fools. Politicians have always been fools, but when your military ‘leadership’ become fools, I consider every order from that point on to be an unlawful order.
My contention is that you can’t win a war without anything that remotely approaches an observable strategy to win it. Bane’s point, and I can’t say I disagree, appears to be that you can’t win a war if you’re apologizing to the enemy for harming the occasional inanimate object.
