meanwhile, back to the main point

the U.S. soldiers are now involved in a "guerilla war"

it seems we didn't learn from Vietnam, and the russians in Afghanistan... the superpowers were defeated, in both cases, by hand weapons and shoulder-fired weapons despite seemingly invincible firepower

"guerilla warfare" always favors the country being invaded

how do you kill a billion enraged muslims one by one???

how do you distinguish the "insurgents" from the "non-insurgents" in their hometowns???

here's where the "bigger gun theory" is no longer valid

the "bigger gun" and more fresh bodies, is great for invading a country... but when you try to "occupy" a country, it's a whole new game

we should have cut our losses long ago, even before the current administration... there's plenty of blame to go around... but now we got us a nice little mess that's only going to get worse... no way to win... but i guess for some people, rose-colored glasses make it bearable
