Win the hearts and minds?

News commentators ponder why we have cracks in our security? Our president calls the enemy an isolated extremist? Did I miss something in the news that the war is over? I am dumbfounded by the stupid inept leadership that our country has. We have been at war in Afghanistan for over 8 years. We have the worlds most powerful military led by a bunch of college educated Generals and Admirals that speak politician instead of war speech. General Norman Schwarzkopf said it best “War is a profane thing.”. What is profane about this war is that you have no leadership committed to what is required to achieve victory. The Air force may as well stay home. Why is there no air campaign with maximum sorties? Remember the countless air sorties in the first gulf war? The launches off carriers 24 hours a day. The countless pounding of cruise missiles landing on Iraqi installations. We could have saved many lives by getting Saddam Hussein out of power during the first War in Iraq. When will we declare war on Afghanistan or Pakistan where our enemies hide? If you harbor Terrorists you are a terrorist (didn't I hear that somewhere before). We must win or leave. To trickle troops year after year is criminal and needs to stop. Our enemies will not go away if we pretend they are just isolated disturbed criminals. President Trumans use of overwelming force on Japan was the text book example of winning the hearts and minds of the Japanese. I cant recall the Japanese trying to blow up airplanes lately. Semper Fi
