Bush 2004--Four More Wars

For some of us, that would be an incentive to vote for Bush.

Exactly, it's an ongoing problem.

In our view, we need a war every ten years or so to keep the tip of the
spear sharp. (How long the wars should last is another matter entirely.)

That's one of many problems with wars of choice, they have a way of getting
out of control. They also alienate allies, waste resources and tie down
forces needed elsewhere.

Right now there's not a commander in the field, from sergeant to general,
who hasn't lead men in combat! You can't BUY that kind of competence.

Last year more members of the American armed services committed suicide than
died in combat. But I forget, you don't care much about stuff like that,
since they volunteered their lives can be squandered in any half-witted
adventure the CinC can dream up.
