I respect our military a lot .I am in high school. Why do people think just because someone is in one part of the military they have any understanding of foreign policy or solving conflicts. They are trained for specific duties.Yes they learn I am sure a lot while there but does a guy trained to restock supplies in the Green Zone qualify as an expert to fix this disaster.

what qualifys a high school kid to make the same judments.. I would take SMitty's experience and point of view then anyother shithead politicians. A soldier tells you how it is. Thats what he is trained to do. Observe, asses, react.

ALL REPORTS AND INTELL COME FROM GRUNTS ON THE GROUND! WE DEAL WITH THE PEOPLE AND WE FIGHT THE ENEMY! WE KNOW WHO IS FROM WHAT CONTRY ONCE WE KILL THEM AND WE KNOW HOW MUCH IRAQ HAS IMPROVED EACH DEPLOYMENT WE DO! THE BEST WAY TO KNOW HOW TO GIT RID OF SUCH AN ENEMY IS TO ASK THE GRUNTS! EVERY ONE ELTS'S OPINION IS AN ESTAMATION!

I am not saying you should take my judgements. I am saying most of the military are just kids trained for a specific job. Plenty from my high school went in the past few years and they have no clue what is going on. They say they are just following orders or doing specific jobs.
