Marine Comandant-
“Marines don’t cut and run. We complete the mission.”
What happened in Beirut in 1983?
“When we left Iraq, we left under a victory flag.”
Winding down after victory- or leaving because host governments say the US is no longer welcome to stay?
US not welcome to stay in Iraq
US not welcome to stay in Afghanistan
General Amos,
Heroin traffickers are frequently successful at what they do. If terrorists were just as interested in entering the US- it appears that federal departments and agencies would have no way to stop them.
Why do heroin traffickers cross into the US free of screening, scanning, pat downs, special IDs, inspection of personal items, etc.
Many people have risked their ass in far off lands to keep terrorists from visiting the homeland.
Love to see a reporter ask The Joint Chiefs of Staff how all that can be justified while the US Dept. of Homeland Security is unable keep heroin out of the US.

The United States no longer knows how to win wars, but it continues to start them.
