War 101 Second Lesson

Many on the last War 101 posting turned it into the they said, we say game, missing the intent of the original post, the method of war called logistics.

Iraq, and Saddam, had at one time chemical weapons, more than likely a total NBC WMD program in various stages of developement, before the 1st Gulf War, after the 1st Gulf War, and up until when, who knows. But the violations of the Cease Fire Agreement over 10 years, whould lead any rational person into suspition mode. And like any good criminal, still hides his gun, and uses his lawyer to convince and prove that he does not have a gun each time he is brought in on suspition of whatever, and Saddam had his gun hidden and the UN was a perfect lawyer, doing what lawyers do, saying he has no gun, never had a gun, and would never own a gun, and is not obligated to say where if he had a gun where he would hide it, that is if he had a gun. Because he used a gun once, does not mean he would ever use a gun again, and no you can not look in his room, but guess what we executed a "search warrent", and we found evidense that there was a gun, and there still may be one, just well hidden and we prevented its eventual use, good enough for most Americans.

Beyond that the Logistical battle on the Infastructure of the Terror Networks is the primary method we have to defeat the movement. So the War in Iraq may be unpopular, the reasoning and reasons will be questioned by many, but Saddam did nothing to prevent what happened and more than not facilitated the response.

Rather there than here, for now.

By the way Goodsmitty, what was your motivation for joining our all volunteer army, the education bennies?
No-one in your view actually sees duty to country as a motivation, just poor dumb slobs lookin for a collage education. Narrow view of our youth based on your personal opinion isn't it. I joined in my day knowing I was going to war, and did it for reasons you probably could never understand. Guess I come under the dumb hick definition you see us all as.

Ah, the beauty of sarcasm.

Seriously, that made no sense whatsoever.

Number 1 :  The freaks you mention are elected by the people
 
Number 2 :  Why would the army attack the people its protecting

Number 3 :  That addresses none of the points made by OS

I heard he ate a whole family size bagful in one sitting.

Anyone find this totally ironic?


I agree with OS totally on this post.

And most of the regs know that me and OS never get along...

Nobody cares. Your war sucks. wrap yourself in the flag and dance the bugaloo in the city park on the 4th.

I joined to pay for college, but I am very proud of my service. I did it, it's over. I quit living in the past and I don't expect everyone to gush with unquenchable indebtedness to my military service (as do you). We both volunteered, whatever our motivations. If your motivation makes your military service greater than mine, and that makes you happy, then good for you. Kudos to the patriots who serve out of zeal for their nation. My nation got their investment back with interest with my service.
