Exactly how bad in Anbar province? This bad. Goddamn it to hell, we are back in Vietnam again, not doing enough to win but doing enough to lose good men.
U.S. forces investigating the crash have said insurgents reached the site before American forces could.
Someone on another blog asked me if I was a hearts and minds kind of guy. I responded that I am a General Sherman kind of guy. Remember he was dealing with a hostile population during the Civil War. Here is his solution.
“My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom. “ . . . William T. Sherman
How to make war…
“Some men think that modern armies may be so regulated that a general can sit in an office and play on several columns as on the keys of a piano; this is a fearful mistake. The directing mind must be at the very head of the army – must be seen there, and the effect of his mind and personal energy must be felt by every officer and man present with it, to secure the best results. Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster.” Thanks Dennis Kennedy’s Blog
