You may or may not have noticed, but we have lost every conflict since
WWII due to our allowing politicians to try to micro manage our
military. The politicians need to be prohibited from exercising any
control over the military beyond setting the initial goal, after that it
should be 100% under military control how to accomplish the specified
goal.
