I guess those same dumbass Generals still belong to the same army who haven't done anything for 8 long years except grow the opium crop production up 1000% since your hero scratched his butt and picked his nose for 8 loooooooong years.
We have been there in one country twice as long as WWII. And you want more dumbass troops to fight and die for another 8 years? HUGE LOL
